Itaituba II National Forest

[2] Law 12678 of 25 June 2012 amended the limits of the Amazônia, Campos Amazônicos and Mapinguari national parks, the Itaituba I, Itaituba II and Crepori national forests and the Tapajós Environmental Protection Area.

[4] The area removed from the Itaituba II National Forest corresponded to the proposed Sawré Muybu Indigenous Territory, and would be partly flooded by the proposed São Luiz do Tapajós Dam on the Tapajós.

The fully protected areas, which cover 6,670,422 hectares (16,482,970 acres), are the Amazônia, Jamanxim, Rio Novo and Serra do Pardo national parks, the Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo Biological Reserve and the Terra do Meio Ecological Station.

[6] The sustainable use areas include the Tapajós environmental protection area and the Altamira, Amaná, Jamanxim, Trairão, Itaituba I, Itaituba II and Tapajós national forests, covering a total of 7,555,889 hectares (18,671,010 acres).

[6] The proposed South Amazon Ecological Corridor would link the conservation unit to other protected areas and indigenous territories in the region.
