Sapucaí Mirim Environmental Protection Area

The Sapucaí Mirim Environmental Protection Area (Portuguese: Área de Proteção Ambiental Sapucaí-Mirim) is an environmental protection area in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

It protects the remnants of native vegetation of the region, the associated fauna and the headwaters of the Sapucaí River, which supplies water to 40 municipalities in Minas Gerais.
