Monitoring

The Fauna Monitoring System (O Sistema de Monitoramento de Uso da Fauna - SMUF) was implemented by the Mamirauá Institute more than 15 years ago in the Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve, in Amazonas state. Monitoring consists of the continuous collection of information on hunting events and of collecting biological material in five rural communities in the reserve. .
