Abstract
The article focuses on the threat to Brazil's high-altitude grasslands in the state of Santa Catarina caused by state regulations that weaken protection despite strong federal laws. It mentions that these grasslands, part of the Atlantic Forest hotspot, are highly biodiverse and home to numerous endemic species. It emphasizes the need for Brazil's Supreme Court and environmental certification agencies to enforce federal protections, hold companies accountable, and preserve these ecosystems.
