Tumucumaque, which means “the rock on top of the mountain” in the language of the Apalai and Wayana Indians, covers 9.6 mil lion acres of forest-blanketed moun tains with granite outcroppings rising up to 2,300 feet above the forest canopy. “ W ith the c re a tio n o f Tum ucum aque M ountains N a tional Park, we are ensuring the protection of one of the most pris tine forests remaining in the world,” Cardoso said. “Plants and animals that may be endangered elsewhere will continue to thrive in our for ests forever.” The move is one of several envi ronmental measures the govern ment is preparing ahead of the World Summit on Sustainable Develop ment, which started on Monday in Johannesburg, South Africa. Cardoso also signed several laws regulating the use of genetic material gathered from Brazil’s im mense variety of plant and animal species. At the 10-day summit, Cardoso is expected to announce the Ama zon Region Protected Areas pro gram, putting nearly 200,000square m iles— including Tumucumaque — under federal protection in na tional parks and sustainable de velopment reserves. Tumucumaque park is 568,000 acres larger than Sionga National Park in the Democratic Republ ic o f • Congo, previously the world’s larg est tropical park.
