Serra do Pardo National Park

The Serra do Pardo National Park is divided between the municipalities of São Félix do Xingu (51.28%) and Altamira (48.72%) in the state of Pará.

[2] With the creation of the park, the farms were expropriated and cattle removed in joint operations by ICMBio, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources and the federal police.

[4] Public visitation is allowed and may generate jobs related to tourism, benefiting the local community.

Some traditional communities of former rubber tappers still live in the park pending transfer to another area where they can move without impairing their livelihoods.

Birds include the threatened white-crested guan (Penelope pileata), hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) and chestnut-throated spinetail (Synallaxis cherriei) .

[3] Protected species in the park include the jaguar (Panthera onca) and giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis).
