The Atlantic Forest (Portuguese: Mata Atlântica) is a terrestrial biome and region which extends along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from Rio Grande do Norte state in the north to Rio Grande do Sul state in the south, and inland as far as Paraguay and the Misiones Province of Argentina, where the region is known as Selva Misionera.
The Atlantic Forest has ecoregions within the following biome categories: Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands, and Mangrove forests. The Atlantic Forest is characterized by a high species diversity and endemism.
It was the first environment that the Portuguese colonizers encountered over 500 years ago, when it was thought to have had an area of 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 km2 (390,000 to 580,000 sq mi), and stretching an unknown distance inland. Over 85% of the original area has been deforested, threatening many plants and animals with extinction Currently, the Atlantic Forest spans over 4,000 km2 (1,500 sq mi) along the coast of Brazil and in a small part of Paraguay and Argentina.

Mata Atlântica A Mata Atlântica já cobriu cerca de 15% do território nacional. Hoje, restam apenas cerca de 7% da cobertura original da Mata. Por isso, é a floresta tropical mais ameaçada do mundo, sendo considerada um dos cinco principais hotspots de biodiversidade do planeta. A Mata Atlântica, juntamente com a Amazônia, compreende um terço da área de florestas tropicais da Terra. Este bioma se formou sobre uma extensa cadeia de montanhas que acompanha quase todo o litoral brasileiro. Por isso alguns autores a considerem como um mosaico de biomas, como as florestas úmidas de Araucária, as matas de encosta e a floresta estacional semidecídua, que é encontrada principalmente no interior de São Paulo, sendo classificada como uma floresta tropical sazonal. Nela são encontrados diversos ani...
A Mata Atlântica apresenta uma biodiversidade rica e singular, tanto em termos científicos, quanto em formas e cores, resultado da ação de milhões de anos de seleção natural. O manto natural verde das montanhas, com escarpas íngremes, é drenado por vales profundos, formando córregos e rios, que seguem ziguezagueando em direção ao mar. O documentário "Redescobrindo a Mata Atlântica", é uma narrativa visual que exalta as belezas da Mata Atlântica, tendo como personagem principal o Muriqui, o maior macaco das Américas. Dentro deste contexto, o documentário mostra a visão de pesquisadores, professores e estudantes que participaram do Programa Difusão da Biodiversidade. O Programa Difusão da Biodiversidade da Mata Atlântica estimula, em crianças e adolescentes, o interesse pela ciência da bi...
