Brazil is a megadiverse country with such exuberant fauna and flora in its continental-size territory as to historically attract scientific curiosity and become a target for records made by artists and naturalists from various parts of the world. This richness and diversity reflect on the culture and identity of Brazilian people, and represent the undeniable potential for new discoveries on the use of biodiversity to everyone’s benefit. As the fifth largest country in the world according to the United Nations – UN, both in terms of territory and population size, Brazil currently represents one of the ten largest economies in the world, and faces numerous socio-environmental opportunities and challenges in the path to sustainable development. Deserving particular notice in this context is the evolution, in the national scenario, of economic mechanisms and incentives to recognize and promote ecosystem services, which contribute to the economic and environmental sustainability. Albeit young as a nation, Brazil is conscious of its relevant role in the environmental balance of the planet, and has strengthened its position in the international arena through the adherence to multilateral agreements, and seeking to fulfill commitments adopted under conventions ratified by the national government. In 2015, at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda was adopted by 193 UN member countries, Brazil among them. The 2030 Agenda is comprised of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and their 169 targets, which were built on the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental, and strongly support the eradication of poverty, gender equality, and social inclusion.
