Program Meeting – “Cerrado, The Kansas of Brazil,” by Rachel Roth

Like a typical big sister, the Amazon Rainforest has been overshadowing one of Brazil’s most biodiverse and incredible landscapes: her little sister, the Cerrado. This savanna birthed 5% of the planet’s plant and animal species, and it’s in far greater danger than the Amazon. Rachel Roth, co-founder of Grassland Groupies, will show you why the vibrant birdlife, dynamic ecology, and truly unique residents make it easy to fall in love with Brazil’s “flat” and “boring” grassland heart.
