Mata Atlântica is the forest with the highest biodiversity among trees in the world. The forest had a "volcanic birth" when South America separated from Africa, both continents then part of the supercontinent Gondwana. Later a tropical superstorm caused a large patch of vegetation and soil to be flushed from Africa, carrying a certain species of monkey from Africa to the Mata Atlântica.
