Abstract: The Atlantic Forest, one of the most biodiverse biomes on the planet, faces intense pressure due to urban expansion and other anthropogenic activities. This study highlights the importance of Indigenous Lands (ILs) in the conservation of this biome. Although ILs are not formally designated for nature conservation, they play a crucial role in preserving native vegetation and biodiversity. The Guarani M'biguaçu IL, located in Biguaçu-SC, hosts a significant diversity of tree species. Between 2022 and 2023, field expeditions identified 148 tree species, including 73 endemic to Brazil and 42 to the Atlantic Forest. Eight species were classified as threatened according to CNCFlora: Xylopia brasiliensis Spreng. and Chrysophyllum viride Mart. & Eichler, classified as "Near Threatened" (NT), Eugenia tenuipedunculata Kiaersk., Euterpe edulis Mart., Ocotea catharinensis Mez, and Cedrela fissilis Vell. as "Vulnerable" (VU), and Ocotea odorifera (Vell.) Rohwer and Virola bicuhyba (Schott ex Spreng.) Warb. as "Endangered" (EN). These findings reinforce the M'biguaçu IL as a strategic area for the conservation of threatened species, emphasizing the need to implement management plans involving the local community, promoting environmental education, and continuous scientific research.
