Exploring Brazil’s biodiverse Cerrado region and the impacts of agriculture




Mongabay Newscast show

Summary: On this episode we discuss Brazil’s incredibly biodiverse Cerrado savannah, with its 10,000 plant species, 900 kinds of birds and 300 different mammals. Long overlooked, much agriculture has moved from the rainforest to this vast region, so Mongabay sent a team there to learn about the effects of agriculture, and they join us to discuss this 'upside down' forest. Plus we round up the recent top environmental & conservation science news.
