[edit]The river flows through the 896,411 hectares (2,215,080 acres) Acari National Park created by president Dilma Rousseff in 2016 in the last week before her provisional removal from office.[1] It defines the eastern boundary of the 589,611 hectares (1,456,960 acres) Juma Sustainable Development Reserve, created in 2006.[2] It joins the Sucunduri River from the left, and the downstream section is known as the Canumã River.
