Córrego do Veado Biological Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Biológica do Córrego do Veado) is a biological reserve in the municipality of Pinheiros, Espírito Santo, Brazil.

Location

The reserve of 2,357 hectares (5,820 acres) was created by decree 87.590 of 20 September 1982 and decree 89.569 of 23 April 1984. It is managed by the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade.^[1] It is named after the river of the same name, the Veado River, which flows through the reserve from west to east.^[2] It lies in the Pinheiros municipality of Espírito Santo.^[3] The vegetation is semi-deciduous tropical rain forest, with very tall trees and sparse undergrowth. Although in the tropical zone, the climate is greatly influenced by the mountains.^[2]

Conservation

As of 2009 the Biological Reserve was a "strict nature reserve" under IUCN protected area category Ia.^[3] The reserve was created to preserve a remnant of Atlantic forest in the northern part of the state.^[2] Protected species in the Atlantic Forest biome are northern brown howler (Alouatta guariba guariba), oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), red-browed amazon (Amazona rhodocorytha), scalloped antbird (Myrmeciza ruficauda), white-eared parakeet (Pyrrhura leucotis) and ochre-marked parakeet (Pyrrhura cruentata).^[1]
