Protected Natural Areas

Rio de Janeiro’s protected landscapes encompass diverse ecosystems, from the urban Atlantic Forest of Tijuca National Park to the coastal marine habitats of Tamoios Ecological Station. This collection features UNESCO World Heritage sites like Sítio Roberto Burle Marx and the historic 19th-century Botanical Garden. It also highlights critical conservation zones such as the São João River basin, which serves as a primary habitat for the endangered golden lion tamarin, and the rugged Serra da Bocaina, spanning the border with São Paulo.
