About the Reserve

The Furnas River Reserve is a private natural heritage reserve in Alfredo Wagner, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The reserve is situated at the apex of a canyon filled with Atlantic Forest. Due to its isolated location that is difficult for humans to access, the reserve is a safe home for numerous animals, fungi, and plants. The main goals of the reserve are to protect the organisms that live in it and to study these organisms to better understand the Atlantic Forest, one of the most threatened biomes on Earth.
