Brazil is universally recognised as the first among the megadiverse countries. This reflects either biodiversity (15 - 20% of the entire biodiversity on Planet Earth is to be found in Brazil) as social / cultural diversity (more than 200 indigenous people and a range of local communities live in Brazil).

In order to protect biological and social - cultural diversity, Brazil has established an extense network of protected areas which actually covers more than 2 million sqkm (25% of Brazil´s national territory) and is divided almost equally between protected natural areas or conservation units and indigenous land (terras indígenas).
