[5] The park covers parts of the Guaporé plateau and the southern Amazon depression, with altitudes of 100 to 500 metres (330 to 1,640 ft).

[6] The Guajará-Mirim State Park was created by decree 4.575 of 23 March 1990 with an area of about 258,813 hectares (639,540 acres) under the administration of the Instituto Estadual de Florestas of Rondônia.

[3] A federal injunction in August 2004 required that the responsible agencies prevent acts of environmental degradation in the park.

Despite this, an irregular opening of a 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) road from BR-421 was allowed to split the park from east to west and thus segmented the Guaporé-Mamoré ecological corridor.

The road was built beside the park headquarters, where the State Environmental Development Secretariat (SEDAM) personnel are installed.

[3] The two cities of Guajará-Mirim and Nova Mamoré were isolated in February 2014 because the BR-425 highway had been flooded by the Igarapé das Araras, a tributary of the Madeira River.

[8] The road connecting the municipalities of Buritis and Campo Novo to Nova Mamoré and Guajará-Mirim cut off the northern 10% of the park.

After defining the process, Kanindé would start a full survey of the park's fauna and flora, physical characteristics, socioeconomic factors and so on.
