Downloading this data is a nontrivial engineering task. The data is only available through a complex HTTP REST API, documented here: https://ppbiodata.inpa.gov.br/metacat/docs/api/index.html?edu/ucsb/nceas/metacat/client/rest/MetacatRest.html

I grabbed what I could via wget, but it's just puffery, graphics, and javascript.
