 Rapids of Rio Preto, Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Brazil Author: UNiesert (Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0) The Cerrado Protected Areas comprise Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks in Brazil. They are one of the world's oldest and most diverse tropical ecosystems, being a refuge for several species that survive here through periods of climate change. The Cerrado Protected Areas were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site during the 25th session of the World Heritage Committee meeting in Helsinki, Finland, on 11-16 December, 2001. The site was recognised for its contribution in maintaining the biodiversity of the Cerrado Ecoregion. It is a stable species refuge where climate changes affect surrounding places. The site supports a number of endangered large mammals and a number of rare small mammals.
