	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Negro-Branco moist forests (NT0143)
		The rivers of this ecoregion are as varied as the plants and animals that depend on them.
		The region is heavily influenced by the numerous rivers and streams, which form the Negro River and Branco River watersheds.
		Along the riverâs edge, a tapir and her spotted young cautiously drink water, aware that this is jaguar territory.

	On the Rio Negro, by Alfred Russel Wallace
		The fact that the most purely fl-water rivers flow through districts of dense forest, and have granite beds, seems to show that it is the percolation of the water through decaying vegetable matter which gives it its peculiar colour.
		Immediately on passing the Rio Branco, islands again appear, and the opposite bank is not visible for 240 miles further, when in about 64° 20' W. the river is clear, and its width, determined by triangulation from a measured base, is 4 1/4 miles.
		All the islands, as well as the low parts of the river banks, are flooded annually for several months--generally from April to August or September, the rise of the river being from 30 to 50 feet.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Uatuma-Trombetas moist forests (NT0173)
		With mainly flwater rivers flowing through the ecoregion the soils are not as fertile as many of the other ecoregions yet there were 235 species of trees counted in one hectare and at least 5 species of primates, restricted to eastern Amazonia, found here.
		Beside the Rio Negro, Rio Branco and the Amazon Rivers which delimit two sides of this ecoregion, the Uatuma-Trombetas moist forest region is dissected by a number of flwater or clearwater rivers, the Trombetas and Jari Rivers being the largest.
		The forests to the west of the Trombetas River are characterized by a dense vegetation with a high number of small-diameter (less than 200 mm) to medium-diameter (200 to 600 mm) stems and a canopy height varying from 20 to 30 m, with emergent trees to 40 m.

	Extractive Exploitation Of Cipó Titica
		However, artisans in Rio Branco indicated that they are moving toward a preference for processed over raw fibers, suggesting that the extractor could possibly implement a price increase for unprocessed fiber.
		For example, a large supermarket in Rio Branco requested the delivery of six large baskets to display breads and fruits and he was able to supply all six within one week.
		Extraction methods employed by the sole supplier to the major artisans appear to be non-predatory but further study is needed to better understand the affects of extraction methods on the species population and longer-term sustainability.

		Amateur fishing program on the Rio Negro river (October thru March) between Manaus and Barcelos, and on the Amazon river (March thru September) between Manaus, Lake Janauaca and the Madeira River.
		In the "recommended" dry season (August to December) we concentrate on tributaries of the Rio Negro river as far up as the mouth of the Rio Branco river.
		In the rainy season (January to July) when the rivers are high, the Amazon landscape and Anavilhanas islands are flooded, and the fish are more dispersed and thus harder to catch, so we concentrate on the oxygen-rich Solimoes (Amazon) river where there are always fish to catch.
