The Cerrado is a biome with forest, savanna and grassland vegetation that occurs mainly in the Brazilian central plateau and is the second largest biome in South America, occupying 24% of Brazil. The region is known as a “cradle of waters”, because it is critical to eight of the 12 Brazilian river basins; it contains the headwaters of nearly all of the southern tributaries of the Amazon River as well.
O Cerrado é um bioma composto de floresta, várzea e vegetação rasteira, presente principalmente no Planalto Central Brasileiro, e é o segundo maior bioma da América do Sul, ocupando 24% do Brasil. A região é conhecida como “berço das águas”, por ser imprescindível para 8 das 12 bacias hidrográficas brasileiras. Ela também abriga a nascente de quase todos os afluentes ao sul do rio Amazonas.
