São Camilo State Park
State park in Paraná, Brazil
São Camilo State Park (Portuguese: Parque Estadual de São Camilo), formerly the São Camilo Biological Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Biológica de São Camilo), is a state park in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
Location
The São Camilo Biological Reserve was created on 22 February 1990, with an area of 385 hectares (950 acres) in the municipality of Palotina, Paraná.
Responsibility for administration was given to the Paraná Institute of Lands, Cartography and Forests, with participation by the Paraná Agronomic Institute.
Soon after its establishment the area began to be visited by the local people for recreational purposes.
This is not legally allowed for a biological reserve.
To allow for visitors and environmental education while still preserving the local biodiversity, the status was changed to State Park.
Conservation
The purpose of the biological reserve is to preserve the fauna and flora.
Exploitation of the reserve and changes to the environment were originally prohibited.
The park contains vegetation in an advanced stage of recovery.
As one of the last fragments of forest of any size in the region it is a haven for wildlife.

Why this record matters
“São Camilo State Park” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Camilo, State and Park provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7665414. Authority coordinates are -24.313, -53.914. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
