Jau National Park

The Jau National Park is a national park situated in the territory of Amazonas, Brazil. It is one of the biggest timberland hold in South America, and part of a World Heritage Site. The name "Jau" originates from that of one of the biggest fish in Brazil, the overlaid catfish or jau zungaro, after which the fundamental waterway of the recreation center is named. The recreation center is in the Amazon biome in the Japura-Solimoes-Negro sodden woods ecoregion. The recreation center's landscape is illustrative of the Negro-Solimoes interfluvial level. It has two principle zones: the Trombetas/Negro level and the lower western Amazon level.

The higher region has slopes with level tops at 150 to 200 meters 490 to 660 ft cut by valleys, while the lower territory has heights of around 100 meters 330 ft. There are substantial regions of regularly overflowed land with poor seepage, and some lasting lakes. Normal yearly precipitation is more than 2,500 millimeters 98 in, and the wettest months happen in March and September, when most extreme short wave sunlight based radiation is being gotten thus greatest convectional precipitation happens.

Jau National Park was recorded by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2000. It turned out to be a piece of the Central Amazon Ecological Corridor, set up in 2002. In 2003, the property was extended by the expansion of the Anavilhanas National Park, Amana Sustainable Development Reserve and Mamiraua Sustainable Development Reserve to shape the Central Amazon Conservation Complex, a bigger World Heritage Site.
