It is representative of the largest forest in the world and is made up of vast protected areas as well as smaller units that are important as ecological corridors for maintaining the genetic flow of species between these different units. One of the main functions of the Biosphere Reserve will be the integration of these areas under different administrative institutions, allowing co-operation to meet common conservation objectives.» ]]> «A 220 km de Manaus, capital do estado do Amazonas, o Parque Nacional do Jaú é o maior parque nacional do Brasil e o maior do mundo em se tratando de floresta úmida intacta. A região é uma importante amostra da biodiversidade amazônica, com espécies exclusivas.»]]>
