The Capivara-Confusões Ecological Corridor links the 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres) Serra da Capivara National Park to the 500,000 hectares (1,200,000 acres) Serra das Confusões National Park 50 kilometres (31 mi) to the west, both in the state of Piauí.

[1] Marina Silva, Minister of the Environment, signed the decree creating the corridor on 11 March 2005.

The purpose is to restore and preserve the natural environment, facilitating the spread of plants and animals, while encouraging socio-economic development.

This was to be applied to environmental studies and technical assistance to the settlements in the corridor, and to development of a sustainable management plan that encourages activities other than logging so as to avoid deforestation.

[3] In 2012 inspectors from the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), an analyst from the Ipanema National Forest in São Paulo and military police officers conducted Operation Transitum in the corridor.
