About

Deep Brazil is an X-ray of a country larger than life, immensely attractive to tourists, immigrants and investors, and culturally fascinating. Created in 2006, it reached 1,5 million pageviews. It hasn’t been updated for a few years now, but the content was recently curated to display its best contents.

It is published by Regina Scharf, a Brazilian journalist now based in Portland, Oregon, USA. She is very engaged in ecological restoration and works for Nova Mata, a map and database of 1,700 ecological restoration in all Brazilian Biomes.
