According to the ecologist, the tropical rain Forest is a big ecosystem or a biome. Under the geographic optics, it is a type of sub continental vegetation that it is part of the humid tropical physiographic system, and occupies a considerable geographic space in Brazil and in some neighboring countries. Geographers, biologists and other scientists have been studying this evolution in geological time, under the focus of the paleoclimates of the Quaternary. However, it is transforming, in recent historical time, due to a considerable devastation and environmental impacts, in the same time, it has been attracting the researchers and ecotourists’ attention. For all this reasons, the government organs adopt the conservationist policies that aim to preserve what there is left. This article tries to approach these aspects concerning the Atlantic rain forest.
