Cicada Choir in the Swampy Atlantic Forest

Would it not be the tree cover, embracing us in its shadow, and the sparkling freshness rising from the small and crystalline stream, to stand here still and listening would not be possible.
This swampy region is one of the biomes of the Atlantic Forest; this site in particular, while having less biodiversity compared to other main areas, hosts endemic frog species. It has (or it is) a micro-climate corridor and it rains very often with an incredible force.
This significant patch is also a transition zone between hillside and lowland environments, harboring remnants of swamp forest (a forest type growing on very wet soils, interspersed with wetland vegetation). This formation features an abundance of epiphytes—primarily bromeliads and orchids—as well as significant populations of palm trees, notably the “juçara” palm (Euterpe eduli), “gamiova” (Geonoma gamiova), and “guaricana” (Geonoma schottiana), all of which are threatened with extinction.
