These modules aim to obtain basic data about the distribution of biodiversity along this highway. This information can be used for land use planning, monitoring and evaluation of the environmental impacts of the BR-319. The imstallation of modules is faster than full grids and allows for greater spatial comprehensiveness. So far, there are 14 modules along the 700km highway between Manaus and Humaitá, 11 are active and 3 have been disactivated (KM83, KM158 and KM820).
The Experimental Farm of the Federal University of Amazonas - UFAM - covers an area of 3,000 hectares (3 x 10 km) of tropical rain forest. The farm is located at km 38 of highway BR-174 and limits to the south with the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) and to the north with the Experimental Station of Tropical Fruit Growing (EEFT) and Experimental Station of Silviculture Tropical (EEST), both belonging to INPA.
