The Chapada Diamantina region, particularly the Vale do Pati, is known for its stunning natural beauty and biodiversity. The region is increasingly vulnerable to climate extremes, such as droughts, which have massive impacts on society and are becoming more severe and frequent. These droughts particularly affect agricultural production and water availability in rural areas, posing significant challenges to the subsistence sectors and the health of the agricultural workforce.
