Located in the central-western region of Brazil, Goiás is at the heart of the Cerrado ecosystem and features a vast plateau landscape with a variety of geographical elements. I understand that this region displays unique and diverse terrains such as savannas, limestone caves, canyons, waterfalls, and ancient rock formations on a gently sloping plateau.
In what ways is the geography of Goiás considered special compared to other regions of Brazil? And how do these complex geographical features influence the natural environment and biodiversity of Goiás?
I'm curious about the ecosystem of Serra, so I was wondering if you could share any photos that capture the natural scenery, traditional villages, or cultural landscapes of the region. Not the kind of pictures you can find on the internet, but ones that really capture the atmosphere and liveliness of the place.
These days, it really feels like spring is arriving in Korea. The weather is getting warmer, cherry blossoms are blooming in many regions, and people are going out for walks and taking pictures. Although spring is known for having a lot of fine dust, it’s still one of my favorite seasons. However, where I live—Yeongjongdo—the flowers haven’t fully bloomed yet, so it doesn’t quite feel like spring here. Still, with the weather getting milder, I can definitely sense that spring is here.
Lately, even though I’m happy about the arrival of spring, I’ve also been feeling concerned about climate change. As the weather gradually warmed up, I was thinking, “Spring is on its way,” but then suddenly at the end of March, it snowed and turned cold again. It was so strange—I had never seen snow that late in March before. I can really feel that the seasons are becoming more and more unstable. Even the timing of when spring flowers bloom is shifting. In some years, the flowers bloom too early and then a sudden cold snap causes them to fall quickly. When I see things like that, it makes me think that nature’s rhythm is gradually becoming disrupted. I wonder if the seasonal patterns and natural scenes that we’ve always taken for granted will continue in the future. That thought worries me.
Like I mentioned, we experienced an unusual weather event here in Korea—snow at the end of March—due to climate change, which made the season feel unpredictable. I’m curious whether Brazil is also experiencing noticeable changes in its seasonal or weather patterns due to climate change. If so, could you tell me about them? And as we see nature’s rhythm changing, I’d also like to know what direction you think Brazil should take in the future to protect the environment and pursue sustainable development.
