Xingu State Park on the basis of a referendum of the people of Santa Cruz do Xingu by technicians from the State Environmental Foundation (FEMA). The agricultural frontier was limited by the amount of protected land, some of which had to be released for expansion of food production. The consultative council was established on 28 September 2007. The objectives are to protect and conserve the various ecosystems and to prevent human actions that would jeopardise the future of the many indigenous groups found in the park. The conservation unit is supported by the Amazon Region Protected Areas Program. Xingu State Park Xingu State
