‘Campos’ and ‘Llanos’, Tropical Savanna grasslands are generally found in South America.

‘Campos’ refers to the tropical savanna grasslands primarily found in Brazil, particularly the Cerrado region. ‘Llanos’ refers to the vast tropical grassland plain stretching across parts of Venezuela and Colombia. Both are prominent savanna ecosystems located in South America. While tropical savannas exist in other continents like Africa and Australia, the terms ‘Campos’ and ‘Llanos’ are specific to South America.

Tropical savannas are grasslands with scattered trees, found in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons. Other famous tropical savanna regions include the Serengeti in East Africa and the Australian savanna. Different regions use different local names for these ecosystems. For example, in Africa, they are often just called ‘savanna’ or specific regional names, and in Australia, they are also referred to as ‘savanna’ or ‘tropical grasslands’.
