RESUMO

The Parque Nacional do Jaú protected areas by SNUC (National System of Units of Nature Conservation) is located, approximately, 200km northwest of Manaus and it is within the territorial limits of the municipalities of Barcelos and Novo Airão in the state of Amazonas. Being the biggest National Park of Brazil with 2.272.000 hectares, covering the second largest extension of continuous humid tropical forests (rain forests) of the world in Amazônia, it was created in order to protect the watershed of Rio Negro, its biodiversity and its natural resources. It is recognized for outstanding landscapes and natural beauty, for important ecological and biological processes related to the conservation of biodiversity, and for being responsible for important natural formations relevant both for Science and for the History of Humanity, the PNJ (Parque Nacional do Jaú) was selected as a protection area of natural heritage of Humanity by the Convention of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). It is established in 1993 an agreement of management of PNJ between IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources) and Vitória Amazônica Foundation (FVA), responsible for the elaboration of the Park Management Plan, whose adoption of a posture to involve the dwellers in the planning, in the actions of management, creating spaces for discussion and socialization of experiences, enabled the consolidation of UC (protected area), defining this way, norms for access and use of natural resources (planned in the SNUC) linked to the needs of survival of the traditional population resident in the Park.
