Juruena

Juruena National Park protects approximately 1.96 million hectares of Amazon rainforest in Mato Grosso and Amazonas states, making it one of the largest national parks in Brazil and the world. Established in 2006, the park preserves the watershed of the upper Juruena River, a major tributary of the Tapajos-Amazon system. Located in the transition zone between the Amazon forest and the Cerrado savanna, the park protects a mosaic of forest types and supports exceptional biodiversity at the interface of two of South America's major biomes.
