This enigmatic forest, the Mata Atlantica or Atlantic Rainforest, once stretched along the coast for thousands of kilometres. Now there is only 7% left. Yet it is still huge – stretching for thousands of kilometres along the coast and reaching inland up to six hundred kilometres. In the centuries since Europeans landed on Brasil’s shores the Mata Atlantica forest has continued to be cleared. But what remains is still a place of immense beauty and variety. An enigmatic and little known forest, home to South America’s largest monkey, swifts that fly through waterfalls and birds that take 10 years to learn the right dance moves.
