The unique grasslands, palm savannas and gallery forests of this ecoregion cover a vast area of southern South America including the entire country of Uruguay.
The savannas are critically endangered due to the fact that there are few small isolated patches of intact habitat remaining. The whole ecoregion has been severely altered by cattle ranching- one of the main pillars of the national economy in Uruguay.
