The Atlantic Forest is a diverse set of forest ecosystems with very different structures and compositions, but having as a common element the influence of humid winds that blow from the ocean

Support for the commercial exploitation of the Araucaria angustifolia pinion (Parana pine) and yerba mate are examples of activities that are helping to recover that which

is the most populated and therefore the most threatened

of Brazilian biomesThe Pantanal is a floodplain influenced by flooded rivers that drain the basin of the Upper Paraguay, where there are a flora and fauna of great beauty and abundance

The Pantanal is developing the production of medicinal plants and various types of honey, with excellent physical-chemical and sensory characteristics

Organic cattle raising is being supported by a project between WWF-Brasil and local farmers It is a good example of a harmonic integration of the economic activity with the Pantanal

environment and culture

The Pampa biome is closely related to extensive cattle ranching and there is a ever more growing organic production of meat, milk and dairy products

The German and Italian colonization in this biome have a great potential for the production of specialty food in the artisanal system

igapó (inundated) forests, flooded fields,

meadows, grasslands, mountain refuges and

pioneer formations

It is considered the most biologically diverse in the

world, hosting more than half of all living species

Guarana, cupuacu, acai, Brazil nut, annatto, andiroba are just

some products that the vast reserve of life that is the Amazon

provides its family farmers and gatherers

The Amazon, like other Brazilian biomes, still has a valuable

potential for sustainable production Just to mention one

example, linalool, the disputed raw material of the famous

French perfume Chanel Nº 5 comes from an Amazonian tree,

the rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke)

Fruits such as the buriti (moriche palm), pupunha

(peach-palm), physalis, the apricot, tucuman, marimari have the

highest amount of carotenoids (which prevent illnesses

such as night blindness, cataracts and even certain types of

cancer), far surpassing the concentrations found in

other fruits

The Caatinga consists mainly by

savanna steppe formed of species resistant

to harsh weather and unevenly distributed

rainfall It is an exclusively Brazilian biome

The Caatinga is rich in fruit trees (S tuberosa,

passion fruit from the woods, araticum, goiabinha,

Croatia), medicinal and aromatic (joazeiro), as well as plant

fibers such as babassu and bacurizeiro

The biome is also more favorable to the creation of species

of native stingless bees that, besides producing one of the

tastiest and valued types of honey in the world, are critical in

the pollination of native plants
