Atlantic Forest

Ilha Grande State Park (PEIG) and Praia do Sul State Biological Reserve (RBEPS): are located on Ilha Grande, an island which has a total area of 19,300 ha. The two modules have 5 km2 , with the PEIG module having 10 uniformly distributed plots and 8 riparian plots, and the RBEPS module has 5 uniformly distributed plots and 1 riparian plot. The plots are located in dense ombrophilous forest, alluvial forest, and restinga. The State University of Rio de Janeiro has a research base (CEADS) in Vila Dois Rios that is used to access the PEIG module.

BR-319

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).
