Gurupi Biological Reserve, Biological reserve in Maranhão, Brazil
The Gurupi Biological Reserve extends across 271,197 hectares of dense Amazon rainforest, featuring elevations ranging from 27 to 316 meters above sea level.
The Brazilian federal government established this protected area in January 1988 to safeguard the remaining Amazon rainforest portions in eastern Maranhão state.
The reserve connects with neighboring indigenous territories, forming an extensive protected area that preserves both natural resources and local communities.
Access to the reserve requires authorization from the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation through their office in Centro Novo do Maranhão.
Scientific research identifies this reserve as one of only twelve Pleistocene refuges in the Brazilian Amazon, hosting rare species like the Kaapori capuchin.
