Grão-Pará Ecological Station

The Grão-Pará Ecological Station spans 42,458 square kilometers of Amazon rainforest, featuring plateaus with elevations from 200 to 1,000 meters above sea level.

The station was established through state decree 2609 on December 4, 2006, as part of nine conservation areas created in northern Pará covering 15 million hectares.

The station maintains partnerships with scientific institutions to study the 125 fish species, 62 amphibians, 68 reptiles, and 355 bird species within its boundaries.

Access to the station requires advance authorization, and transportation is primarily limited to helicopters or light aircraft due to the absence of navigable rivers.

The station houses sections of two Amazon River sub-basins with rivers extending 21,800 kilometers, experiencing annual rainfall between 1,900 to 2,300 millimeters.
