Jaci Paraná Extractive Reserve
protected area of Brazil
The Jaci Paraná Extractive Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Extrativista Jaci Paraná) is an Extractive reserve in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. The traditional population is engaged in sustainable use of natural forest resources. It has been subject to illegal invasions by loggers and farmers. In 2014, an attempt was made to revoke the reserve.
Location
The Jaci Paraná Extractive Reserve is divided between the municipalities of Buritis (21.29%) Nova Mamoré (12.98%) and Porto Velho (65.73%) in the state of Rondônia. It has an area of 197,364 hectares (487,700 acres). The Jaci Paraná River forms its western boundary. Altitudes range from 100 to 250 metres (330 to 820 ft) above sea level. The reserve adjoins the Rio Pardo Environmental Protection Area to the east and the Bom Futuro National Forest to the northeast, separated from these two units by the Rio Branco, a tributary of the Jaci Paraná River. The reserve would be included in the proposed Western Amazon Ecological Corridor, connecting it to neighboring conservation units.

Why this record matters
The phrase “protected area of Brazil” 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 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28220676. Authority coordinates are -9.780, -64.209. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014.
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.
