The original area of the upper paraná atlantic forest ecoregion is the largest (471,204 km²) of the 15 ecoregions of the atlantic forests ecoregion complex, extending from the western slopes of the serra do mar in brazil to eastern paraguay and the misiones province in argentina. La visión de biodiversidad establece una serie de objetivos de conservación de la biodiversidad basados en los ampliamente aceptados principios de la biología de la conservación, e identifica áreas críticas a ser conservadas, manejadas o restauradas para lograr estos objetivos. Ultimately, the fate of biodiversity in the pontal do paranapanema and the atlantic forest within relatively small forest fragments, isolated parks, and reserves remain in the hands of the people that live around these areas and coexist with these species.

The ecoregion contains 2 types of tropical moist broadleaf forests, the coastal and interior atlantic forests, and the araucaria pine forest which previously covered a large portion of the brazilian states of parana and santa catarina and their borders with argentina.
The atlantic forest stretches from northeast brazil southward along the atlantic coastline and inland into northeast argentina and eastern paraguay
It is a complex comprising 15 ecoregions, including tropical and subtropical rain forest, coastal forest, mangroves, and araucaria moist forest. Forty per cent of the plant and 31 per cent of the animal species are endemic to the atlantic forest region, with evermore new species being found We are working towards the protection and restoration of this unique ecosystem, which is of such critical importance for global biodiversity. The following is a list of the relevant tdp targets with explanations of how the upper paraná atlantic forest ecoregion action plan relates to them.
