The Tapajós National Forest was created in the 1970s. It covers about 500,000 hectares, 82,000 of which can be managed by COOMFLONA, a for-profit company that holds the concession for the area—management is overseen by ICMBIO. The Anambé furniture workshop manufactures various types of furniture and some objects commissioned by designers using wood resulting from forest management. There are 26 communities within it—23 of which are riverside populations and 3 are Munduruku villages. Part of the communities (eight of them) make a living from tourism, offering guides, handicrafts, food, and lodging. The main community for receiving tourists is Jamaraquá, where the Tourist and Visitor Reception Center (CATV) is located. During the pandemic, the Flona was closed for six months, but it reopened at the request of residents who dedicate themselves to tourism and were running out of income.
