Conservation and research in the Brazilian Cerrado
Serra do Tombador Natural Reserve is located in the Northeastern of Goiás, in Cavalcante, almost on the border with Tocantins. According to the Ministry of Environment, the Reserve is in an extremely high priority region for biodiversity conservation.
It has an area equivalent to 9,000 soccer fields in the Cerrado, a biome that houses the springs of the 3 main hydrographic basins in Brazil.
Maintained by the Boticário Group Foundation since 2007, the Reserve is in one of the most protected areas of the Brazilian Cerrado. Because access is difficult, it is not open for visits, maintaining its focus on conservation and research.
