Resumo de MAMIRAUÁ THE BIG RESERVE OF PISCOSA AMAZONAS

MAMIRAUÁ THE BIG RESERVE OF PISCOSA AMAZONAS The Reserve Mamirauá Sustainable Development (english) was established in 1990 as Ecological Station by the government of the state of Amazonas. In 1996, coinciding with the completion of the Plan of Management of the reserve, it was transformed in the category, so unique, Reserve for Sustainable Development, also by the State government. His goal is to protect the marshland of the confluence of rivers and Solimões Japurá, in the heart of the state of Amazonas, near the city of Tefé. The surrounding forests are flooded by rivers rich in nutrients and sediment, which may remain completely flooded for more than four months every year. The rivers of color clayish carrying huge load of sediment that is deposited every year flood in the soil, making the surrounding very productive and relatively fertile, if compared to other lands of the Amazon. With a total area of 1.124 million hectares (accounting for almost half of the state of Sergipe), up to 80 km of the forest reserve are completely flooded between those two major rivers Amazon. Each year, the waters rise around 12 meters. Because of that imbalance of water, animals and plants of Mamirauá had to adapt to survive in extreme conditions of this environment. Many trees are completely submerged with the crown. So the animals in the várzea are good tree or swam. During the floods, the fish invaded the interior of the forest and make the role of dispersers of seed, which is done in other woods by agoutis, pacas and other land mammals-absent in Mamirauá-as well as some birds. The flood transformed the life of the entire region. Many animals depend on the fruits and seeds produced by the trees during the floods. Some, such as fish tambaqui "Colossoma macroponum," feeds the fruit falling in the water. Have been cataloged in reserve more than 300 species of fish, including ornamental, as ACARA-disc "Synphysodon aequifasciatus." In Mamirauá also live about 400 species of birds and at least 45 species of mammals. One of the most strange is the uacari-white "Cacajao calvus", a monkey, 4 kilos, which feeds almost exclusively of seeds of immature fruit. The uacaris live in flocks of up to 50 individuals and walk several kilometers a day, in search of their favorite foods. Also endemic in Mamirauá is the monkey-to-smell "Saimiri vanzolinii." The lakes harbor the fish - boi "Trichechus inunguis" and the red button "Though upside." Some of the most important species of tropical wood are still in the protected areas of Mamirauá Reserve. The scientific research is one of the main activities in the reserve, and several theories (MA and Ph.D.) and scientific articles have been produced and published on Mamirauá. Most of this knowledge was essential for the preparation of the Plan of Management of reserva.As local populations were not removed, but engaged in a participatory process that aims to ensure the improvement of the standard of living locally and their participation in the management and protection of biodiversity english. Local communities are involved in the activities of research, extension and management of the unit, occupying a strategic position in the decision-making processes. This was an unprecedented experience in Brazil that begins to bear fruit in other units of conservation. Accommodations - The Pousada floating troops has 10 suites of 25m2. Designed were seeking a minimum of environmental impact with solar energy, natural ventilation system and special filtering of excrements. (Jerson Spider)
