About Pau Brasil
Pau Brasil National Park preserves one of the last remaining areas of Atlantic Forest in southern Bahia. The park is named after the Brazilian national tree, which was historically important in the country's early colonial period. The protected area contains diverse flora and fauna, including several endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Forest.
