History

The Chocoaré - Mato Grosso Extractive Reserve was created by federal decree on 13 December 2002.[5] It is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMbio).[4] The reserve is classed as IUCN protected area category VI (protected area with sustainable use of natural resources). Its objectives are to protect the livelihoods and culture of the traditional extractive population, and ensure sustainable use of natural resources.[3]

On 22 June 2005 the Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (INCRA: National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform) recognised it as meeting the needs of 300 families of small rural producers, who would qualify for PRONAF support. The consultative council was created on 24 September 2007. ICMBio was given responsibility on 15 March 2010.[5]
