It contains forests, plains, savannas and huge amount of natural resources.For centuries, local traditional populations have been living in its fields and plains without destroying the natural landscape, sourcing their livelihood from all its richness. But the agribusiness expansion movement is risking its survival and the availability of natural resources, causing conflicts over land and even water.In original language:Comunidades e cultura do CerradoO Cerrado é diverso! Nele há vegetação de florestas, campos e savanas. Há séculos, populações tradicionais ocupam seus campos e chapadas sem destruir a paisagem natural, aproveitando de toda a riqueza de frutos.
