Two expeditions were conducted to the 'Flona de Jamari', a reserver, in Rondônia, during 2013 and 2015. With abandoned mining operations and two timber companies operating with low impact, the presence of biodiversity was amazing. A wide variety of primates was easily visible, and many tracks of pumas, jaguars and other mammals, plus the presence of macaws and other rare birds. Besides that, people residing in the village inside the reserve coexisted well with wildlife.
