Unprecedented records that celebrate life in the Cerrado.
Using photography and research as conservation tools, the book gathers pages with stories that intertwine the Cerrado with its transformations, from geological processes to contemporary conservation challenges.
The images follow the behavior of life in the biome at different times of the day, from sunrise to late afternoon and night. The capture of emblematic species of this region (Trijunção and Grande Sertão Veredas Park), such as the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), black jaguar (Panthera onca), jaguar (Panthera onca), tapir (Tapirus terrestris), and rhea (Rhea americana), leads us to discover an indescribable richness.
