Tijuca ForestTijuca National Park – To me it makes more sense to have the article on the (well-defined) National Park (NP) rather than the (poorly-defined) Forest.

The NP seems to be referred to more both in English and Portuguese (pt-wiki redirects from Forest to NP). The UNESCO page http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1100 refers exclusively to the NP, Brazilian government websites use it more (compare: https://www.gov.br/pt-br/@@search?SearchableText=%22Parque+Nacional+da+Tijuca%22 to https://www.gov.br/pt-br/@@search?SearchableText=%22Floresta+da+Tijuca%22) , and a google maps search for 'Tijuca Forest' will take you to 'Tijuca National Park' in both languages. If anyone has more sources that would provide insight, I would appreciate it.

It can be said that the NP and Forest are not exactly equivalent (eg, there are forested areas not in the park boundaries), but to me it makes more sense to have the NP as the main article. Cobbunt (talk) 04:47, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
