The Cerrado in central Brazil is the most biodiverse savanna on Earth. It’s the size of England, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden combined and is the second-largest biome in South America, after the Amazon. The Cerrado is a base for 60% of Brazil’s agricultural production, making it key to both Brazil’s economy and the global food system.
