The Cerrado is a vast and diverse tropical savanna in central Brazil, spanning several states, including Goiás and Tocantins. Covering nearly 22% of the country, this unique biome is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, home to thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
The Heart of the Cerrado: Goiás and Tocantins
The states of Goiás and Tocantins are at the heart of the Cerrado. Goiás is known for its rolling landscapes, plateaus, and vibrant cultural heritage, with a strong agricultural tradition rooted in the rich soils of the Cerrado.
Tocantins, on the other hand, is where the iconic Capim Dourado (Golden Grass) thrives. This region is characterized by its rivers, wetlands, and open savannas, making it a critical area for biodiversity. The communities in Tocantins have a deep connection to the land, passing down the knowledge of harvesting and crafting with Capim Dourado through generations.
Why We Chose the Name Cerrado Brazil?
At Cerrado Brazil, we chose our name to honor this extraordinary biome and the regions of Goiás and Tocantins that are so integral to its identity. The Cerrado is not just a landscape; it’s a symbol of the rich cultural and natural heritage of Brazil. By using Capim Dourado in our jewelry, we celebrate the beauty of this region and support the artisans who rely on its resources.
Our commitment to sustainability and cultural preservation reflects the values of the Cerrado as long with the heritage that is preserved in our lives, the memories.
