Forest Landscape Integrity Index

The integrity condition of these forests is measured via the Forest Landscape Integrity Index (FLII), which combines data on observable pressures to forests (e.g., agriculture, forest cover loss and infrastructure), inferred pressures (e.g., edge effects, over-harvest), and losses in forest connectivity in the surrounding landscape to give an aggregate score for all forests across a continuous scale from the lowest (FLII = 0) to the highest (FLII = 10) level of integrity. In 2021, the average FLII score of the site was estimated at 9.96 FLII units, a very high level of ecological integrity.

Wildlife

Within JNP there is a high diversity of vertebrates with 120 mammal species, 441 bird species, 15 reptile species, and 320 fish species. Numerous species of conservation concern live within the Park, including jaguar, ocelot, giant anteater, giant river otter, tapir, capybara, harpy eagle, Amazon River dolphin, Amazonian manatee, South American River turtle, and black caiman.

From 2013-2023, the project site absorbed over 52 million tons of CO₂, keeping the planet cooler than it would be without this ecosystem.

There are approximately 1,000 people living in the area of JNP, in 183 families spread over 14 communities. These communities include afro-descendent quilombos, which have specific attributes under Brazilian Law.
