Mamirauá

Mamirauá refers to the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, near the city of Tefé. It is a 22,000 square mile reserve near the village of Boca do Mamirauá, and it includes mostly Amazon flood forest.

Mamirauá is protected by the international Ramsar Convention of the IUCN, as a wetland of global importance. It has been proposed that the Reserve should form part of a future UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Brazilian Amazon. At present, it is included in one of the Ecological Corridors to be implemented by the PPG-7 Program for the Protection of Brazilian Tropical Forests.

The reserve is the legacy and life work of Brazilian scientist José Márcio Corrêa Ayres.
