Conteúdo: | The federal protected areas in the Brazilian Amazon include national parks and biological reserves, formely administered by the Brazilian Forestry Development Institute (IBDF) of the Ministry of Agriculture, and ecological stations, created by the Special Environmental Secretary (SEMA) of the Ministry of the Interior. Both IBDF and SEMA were amalgamated in January 1989 to form a new organization within the Ministry of the Interior, the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA). Although currently under revision, the statutes for national parks state that their aim is to protect extensive areas of natural ecosystems while permitting educational, recreational and scientific activities within their boundaries (IBDF, 1982). Biological reserves are generally smaller and permit only scientific activities. The emphasis in the creation of biological reserves is more on the protection of a specific ecosystem or an endangered species. Ecological stations, on the other hand, aim to protect representative ecosystems, specifically with a veiw to the protection of genetic resources and endangered species (SEMA, 1986; Figueiredo, 1988). The first national park in the Brazilian Amazon, Araguaia National Park, was decreed in 1959; and only in 1974 was a second park, Amazônia (Tapajós) National Park, decreed. Until 1979, these parks, covering an area of a little less than 2 million ha, were the only protected areas maintained in the Brazilian Amazon. The majority of parks and reserves were created in the last nine years, with the major increase occurring in 1979 and 1980, when four national parks and three biological reserves totalling nearly 7 million ha were decreed (Rylands and Mittermeier, 1982, 1983; Rylands, 1985).
