The operation of the Belo Monte HPP does not directly affect any Conservation Unit (CU). In the area of indirect influence, there is the Refúgio de Vida Silvestre (REVIS) Tabuleiro do Embaubal. It is an area of 4,033.94 hectares, located in the municipality of Senador José Porfírio, in the state of Pará, managed by the Ideflor-bio. In a partnership with the management body and the licensing body, we have developed specific monitoring, management and environmental education actions in this conservation unit. In addition, we offer logistical support with vessels, power generators and fuel for inspection activities on site and along the Amazon turtle migration route in the Lower Xingu River.
Omission of indicators
a. vi:The assessment of biodiversity value is a responsibility of the CU management body, Ideflor-bio. As there is still no management plan for this CU, there is no information on this issue.
a. vi: There are no records of the inclusion of the Tabuleiro do Embaubal Wildlife Refuge (REVIS) in the aforementioned international protection lists (IUCN Protected Area Management Categories System and Ramsar Convention). However, it is relevant in national legislation, as it is a Full Protection Conservation Unit created by State Decree and recognized in the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC) (see attached decree). Furthermore, the area is considered one of the largest turtle spawning sites in the Amazon, housing species such as the Amazon turtle, the tracajá and the pitiú. This characteristic gives REVIS an exceptional value for the conservation of biodiversity and justifies its legal protection. Although it is not included in the aforementioned international lists, REVIS Tabuleiro do Embaubal plays an important role in the protection of endangered species and in the maintenance of the biodiversity of the Amazon, being of great importance for nature conservation in Brazil.
