 Universia Brasil.
«Espécies animais ameaçadas de extinção, vegetação adaptada a queimadas freqüentes e paisagens como em nenhum outro lugar do mundo. Esta é uma pequena descrição das reservas de Cerrado brasileiras, um dos ecossistemas mais antigos do planeta.»

 Cerrado
 
 UNESCO, MAB Biosphere Reserves Directory.
«This Biosphere Reserve is characterized by the Cerrado biome, which includes Cerrado (dense savanna woodlands), Cerrado with twisted short trees and bushes and Cerrado grasslands. It covers areas located in the States of Tocantins, Maranhao and Piauí.The upland grassbeds of Chapada dos Veadeiros, as well as the Parana valley wetlands, harbour unique species. The deciduous and semidecidous forests, with hardwoods that are prized for cattle fencing and construction are also a high priority for biodiversity conservation. The conservation of the Biosphere Reserve of Cerrado focuses on restoration of altered areas and building of ecological corridors.»

 Cerrado Protected Areas: Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks
 
 UNEP Protected Areas Programme.
«The Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park is part of the highest plain in Central Brazil, with its highest point being the Serra da Santana, that comprises part of the major system of the Chapada dos Veadeiros. The region is of outstanding beauty, and is made up of wide plateaus over 1,200m with waterfalls and crystal clear springs. The uplands give way to deep rocky canyons, with walls up to 40m high, and valleys up to 300m in length. The main watercourse is the Preto River, which flows on a north-west to south-west direction; the northern extremity of CVNP is drained by the Santana and Bartolomeu rivers. Several other perennial streams, such as Fiandeira, Montes Claros and Moquem drain the western face of the Serra da Santana. All these watercourses flow into the Tocantins River, which is a tributary of the Amazon Basin. Along the course of the Preto River, there are many waterfalls, such as the Rio Preto Falls (120m high, 80m at the base) and the Cariocas Falls.»

 Reserva da Biosfera do Cerrado
 
 «A Reserva da Biosfera do Cerrado, que teve até o presente definidas três fases que se situam em regiões do Distrito Federal e dos estados de Goiás, Tocantins, Maranhão e Piauí. O bioma Cerrado, por força das formas de exploração agrícola e pecuária de forte impacto ambiental, e de baixa capacidade de geração de emprego e renda, já apresenta uma grande perda de sua diversidade biológica riquíssima, combinada a um conjunto de paisagens precioso, que precisa ser conservado.»
