Augusto Ruschi Biological Reserve (ICMBio)
This reserve has exuberant vegetation, rich in ornamental species, and the diversity of epiphytes is very great, including endemic, rare and endangered species. It is part of one of the world’s hotspots in terms of endemism and biodiversity and it has more than 100 perennial springs and streams, contributing to the formation of major waterways. The high level of endemism, coupled with the current level of conservation of the forest, means that there are a remarkable 150 species of endangered flowering plants in the reserve.
