The Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve is a state conservation unit located in the heart of the Amazon, between the Amazon, Japurá and Auati-Paraná rivers. Mamirauá is the largest reserve in lowland ecosystem in the Brazilian Amazon, with an extension of 1,124,000 ha.

Inserted in the Central Corridor of the Amazon, it is part of the Amazon Biosphere Reserve, in addition to being one of the reserves recognized by the Ramsar Convention - which protects floodplains of great relevance.

Every year the reserve goes through a time of low and high water levels, a variation of about 10 to 12 meters! This highly dynamic environment required adaptation by everyone who inhabits it: riverside and indigenous people, flora and fauna (which is why we have many endemic species).
