UniĂŁo Biological Reserve

The União Biological Reserve does important work to preserve the habitats of Brazil’s most endangered species in its Atlantic Forest biome.

About

In order for researchers and conservation specialists to study this region's rich flora and fauna, including rare plants and wildlife unique to Brazil, they had to create a protected zone against human interference. Thus, the UniĂŁo Biological Reserve was born in 1998. This reserve is located in Rio de Janeiro state and protects a crucial segment of the Atlantic Forest ecosystem. The reserve is a critical habitat for numerous endangered species and plays a vital role in environmental protection and scientific research. Its landscape encompasses dense forests, varied vegetation zones, and critical watershed areas that contribute to regional environmental sustainability. Its main species include the endangered golden lion tamarin, maned sloth, cougar, ocelot, and white-necked hawk. Take a guided tour, or explore the pavilions and trails independently.
