NATIONAL PARK OF SERRA DA CANASTRA
Birth place of the largest wholly Brazilian river, São Francisco (or simply “Velho Chico” – “Old Chico”), the National Park of Serra da Canastra offers to the visitor a fascinating scenery, waterfalls and still a lot to do like hiking, trekking (on foot, horseback, car or moto rides), radical sports and the unmistakable “mineira” hospitality with its delicious cuisine. When
hiking around it is possible to see some of the animal species threatened
of extinction, Tamanduá-Bandeira
– the Great Anteater, Lobo Guará
– Maned Wolf, Tatu Peba –
Hairy Six-banded Armadillo,
and also exotic species of the typical flora of Cerrado
ecosystem.
The Brazilian Merganser (Mergus Octosetaceus) is the most threatened animal in this area, only about 250 individuals remain – all over the planet – as reported by Brazilian and Foreign researchers that come here seeking for information on the specie. Due to this reduced number of individuals, it is very difficult to be seen.

BRAZILIAN MERGANSER - Listen their call - The Brazilian Merganser is one of the world's most endangered ducks; less than 250 survive in the wild, and the species is predicted to become extinct within 10 years. Birds are especially sensitive to habitat degradation within river catchments, from activities such as logging, mining and agriculture. This species is sedentary, eats fish, and occurs on rivers flowing through remote sub-tropical forest in Brazil. Almost nothing is known about its biology, and only two nests have ever been found. A
recovery plan for the Brazilian Merganser was produced following a
conservation planning workshop in Brazil in September 2000, attended by
experts from all three Brazilian Merganser range states (Argentina,
Brazil, and Paraguay), Europe and the United States. It collated
background information on the status and distribution, life history, and
threats faced by the Brazilian Merganser and drew up generic
recommendations for conservation action. The recovery team held a follow-up meeting in October 2002. Great enthusiasm exists in Brazil for saving this species. Over the next three years, planned conservation projects include a detailed study of the birds breeding ecology at the world's most important site, Serra da Canastra National Park in South Central Brazil to collect basic information needed to adequately protect the species.
