Bom Futuro National Forest
Brazilian national forest
The Bom Futuro National Forest (Portuguese: Floresta Nacional do Bom Futuro) is a national forest in the state of Rondônia, Brazil.
The forest has been subject to a massive invasion of loggers, ranchers and farmers.
Location
The Bom Futuro National Forest is divided between the municipalities of Buritis and Porto Velho, Rondônia.
It has an area of 97,357 hectares (240,570 acres).
It adjoins the Rio Pardo Environmental Protection Area to the south, the Jaci Paraná Extractive Reserve to the southwest and the Karitiana Indigenous Territory to the west.
The forest would be included in the proposed Western Amazon Ecological Corridor, connecting it to neighboring conservation units.
The forest holds the sources of tributaries of the Jamari River via the Candeias River, and of the Jaci Paraná River via the Rio Branco.
The forest was relatively intact in 1995.
The original vegetation was mainly open submontane rainforest and dense submontane rainforest, with savanna/rainforest contact, open alluvial rainforest and pioneer alluvial formations.
Land invasion
From 2000 an invasion began first of loggers, then of squatters and land speculators, supported by local politicians.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Bom Futuro National Forest” is brazilian national forest. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Futuro, National and Forest, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “brazilian national forest” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10282894. VIAF identifies the subject as 13154440120335341977. Authority coordinates are -9.437, -63.836. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995 and 2000.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
