This region contains arguably the largest concentration of endangered and endemic taxa of the Atlantic Forest, including 19 mammal species, 32 bird species, and the highest tree diversity per hectare (over 450) of the region and one of the highest in the world. Notable endemic animal taxa include the golden-headed lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysomelas), Kuhli's marmoset (Callithrix kuhlii), the capuchin (Cebus apella robustus), spider monkey, white-winged cotinga, acrobat bird (Acrobatornis fonsecai), banded cotinga, and Geoffroy's marmoset. (Experts workshop for ecoregional priority setting, 10–14 August 1999, Atibaia, Sao Paulo, Brazil.)
