Serra Geral do Tocantins Ecological Station (Portuguese: Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins) is an ecological station in the states of Bahia and Tocantins, Brazil. It is one of the largest such units in the country, and protects a sparsely populated area of the cerrado biome. The main threat comes from frequent fires set by the local people in order to create cattle pasturage.
