Together with its hinterland, which consists of hills with savannah and wetlands, and the coast up to the Ponta Séri Tútun , the Areia Branca forms a wildlife reserve and an Important Bird Area . The eucalyptus tree species ( Eucalyptus alba ) form some small tropical dry forests ( Eucalyptus alba savana ), which are threatened by the gathering of firewood. Together with the areas of Tibar ( Liquiçá municipality ), Tasitolu , Hera and Metinaro (all in Dili municipality ), this region forms a network of small wetlands.
