Central Amazon Ecological Corridor

The Central Amazon Ecological Corridor spans 31,646,600 hectares across the Solimões and Negro river basins, connecting numerous conservation units in the Amazon rainforest.

A group of consultants working with the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment established this corridor in 1997 as part of seven major ecological protection zones.

Local communities and indigenous territories within the corridor maintain their traditional practices while participating in environmental preservation through coordinated management approaches.

The corridor encompasses the cities of Manaus, Manacapuru, and Tefé, integrating urban centers with protected areas through structured conservation strategies.

The network includes diverse aquatic environments from major rivers such as the Jutaí, Japurá, Juruá, Solimões, Tefé, and Rio Negro.
