First protected in 1861 – a decade before the first national park in the United States – Tijuca forest is a 40 sq km chunk of Atlantic Forest , a once-vast biome that covered 1,000,000 sq km of Brazilian coastline . Today, roughly 15% of the Atlantic Forest remains, decimated by sugarcane and coffee plantations as well as logging by the European colonists that first stepped on Brazil's shores in the 16th Century.
