Rio Novo National Park, National park in Pará, Brazil
Description
Rio Novo National Park is a protected forest area in the Amazon region located between the municipalities of Novo Progresso and Itaituba in Para state. The land covers dense rainforest with numerous rivers, streams, and untouched sections that form a continuous woodland ecosystem.
History
The park was established by the Brazilian government in 2006 to protect Amazon forest systems and wildlife. This decision was part of a broader effort to preserve large forest areas from deforestation and industrial use.
Culture
The forest plays a vital role for indigenous and local communities who have lived in and around these lands for generations. Their presence shapes how the park is experienced and valued today.

Access is limited and requires permits from the park management authority. Visitors should plan ahead and work with local guides to navigate safely through the forest area.
