context_page_description: The Uatumã Sustainable Development Reserve is a sustainable development reserve in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The land is owned by the state, but the reserve has a population of about 1,300 people engaged in sustainable agriculture, extraction and fishing.
context_section_description: The Uatumã Sustainable Development Reserve is of great biological importance.
  It preserves the remains of the riverine environment that was largely destroyed with construction of the Balbina Dam.
  The vegetation is mainly terra firma forest, but there are areas of igapó, campina and campinarana.
  Common plants that may have economic potential include bacaba, pintadinha, bromélias, sucupira, jauari, maçaramduba and breu.
  The campinas (meadows) have significant potential for tourism due to their scenic beauty and large amounts of bromeliads and orchids.
  Creation of the reserve was motivated in part by the need to provide a shelter for the Martins's tamarin (Saguinus martinsi), considered rare and probably endemic to the reserve and its surroundings.
  Research on fauna during preparation of the management plan identified 26 species of mammals including the threatened ocelot, jaguar and giant anteater.
  Aquatic mammals include Amazon river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis), Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis), giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) and neotropical otter (Lontra longicaudis).
  The reserve does not have large stocks of commercially useful fish.
  The dolphins and otters often attack fish caught in gill nets set by the residents of the reserve.
  The reserve provides an egg-laying area for threatened species of turtles.
  The Arrau turtle (Podocnemis expansa) is relatively rare.
  Turtles are caught for consumption or sale, as elsewhere in the Amazon region.
  Maracarana Lake has the highest number of turtles and has been protected by residents in partnership with Eletrobras – Manaus Energia since 1985. 
  In 1998 IBAMA declared Maracarana a protected lake, where gill nets and turtle capture are banned.
