The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity
conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000
km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity,
high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely
threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in
the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between
biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human
population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the
historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome;
2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the
main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to
ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social
sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for
those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the
conservation of this important global biome.
