The Brazilian government established Terra do Meio Ecological Station on February 17, 2005, designating it as a category Ia protected area under IUCN guidelines.
Local riverside families maintain traditional practices within designated intensive use zones, focusing on sustainable cocoa cultivation and community-based production initiatives.
