The Rio Curiaú Environmental Protection Area was created by state law on 15 September 1998 to protect its watershed and local ways of life from Macapá's urban expansion. As a sustainable-use protected area, it brings environmental conservation and resident communities into the same territory.

Understand the landscape alongside its quilombola history, rather than as an empty backdrop. Arrange visits with residents and respect boundaries between visitor areas, homes and ceremonial spaces. The protected area and quilombola territories have different legal purposes even where they overlap. Agree in advance before photographing people, joining celebrations or booking activities; the community calendar is not an on-demand attraction.
