+ # ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: Drone Operations Prohibited in Anavilhanas National Park
+ 
+ **Drone flights are strictly prohibited within the boundaries of the Anavilhanas National Park.** Operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/drones) in this fragile Amazonian river ecosystem is illegal due to federal environmental laws, critical aquatic wildlife protection acts, and biodiversity conservation regulations.
+ 
+ ### 🗺️ Geographic Map Boundaries (Where it is prohibited)
+ 
+ The flight ban covers the entire official polygon of **350,469 hectares** (3,504 km²) of the National Park, which comprises more than 400 islands along the Rio Negro, mainly within the municipalities of Novo Airão and Manaus.
+ * **North Boundary:** Extends along the main bed of the Rio Negro, bordering rural communities and primary Amazon rainforest.
+ * **South Boundary:** Limits with the municipal borders of Novo Airão, focusing heavily on the riverbank ports.
+ * **East/West Limits:** Encompasses the entire labyrinth of water channels (*paranás* and *furos*) and flooded forests (*igapós*).
+ * **Critical No-Fly Zones:** Absolute enforcement around the **Novo Airão Fluvial Waterfront**, **Base Avançada do ICMBio**, and all core island groups where aquatic mammals gather.
+ 
+ ### 📜 Key Regulations & Specific Legal Articles
+ 
+ * **ICMBio Normative Instruction No. 61/2020:** This federal ordinance dictates that any recreational operation of unmanned aircraft inside National Parks is completely forbidden without a previously issued environmental permit.
+ * **Federal Law No. 9,605/1998 (Environmental Crimes Law - Art. 29 & 40):** Protects endangered Amazonian fauna. The high-pitched noise and shadows of drones cause extreme stress, panic, and defensive diving behavior in highly sensitive species, such as the **Amazon River Dolphin / Boto-cor-de-rosa (Inia geoffrensis)** and the **Amazonian Manatee (Trichechus inunguis)**.
+ * **DECEA ICA 100-40 & ANAC RBAC-94:** The park features vast areas of dense jungle and open water where GPS signal multipath errors and magnetic interference are common. Drone crashes result in toxic lithium-polymer batteries being permanently lost in the water, causing long-term chemical contamination to the aquatic ecosystem.
+ 
+ ### ⚖️ Penalties for Violations
+ 
+ Anyone caught operating drones inside the park boundaries without authorization will face strict immediate legal action:
+ 1. **Immediate Equipment Seizure:** Confiscation of the drone, remote controller, and all storage media by ICMBio Federal Rangers or Environmental Authorities.
+ 2. **Administrative Financial Sanctions:** Fines starting at **R$ 5,000.00** per infraction under Federal Decree 6,514/08.
+ 3. **Criminal Penalties:** Registration of a federal environmental crime report for damaging a federal conservation unit and endangering protected Amazonian species.
+ 
+ ### 🎥 Official Media & Research Licensing
+ 
+ Recreational flying is 100% banned. For institutional, scientific, or licensed commercial cinematography:
+ * Permits must be requested at least **45 business days in advance** through the [ICMBio SISBIO System](https://www.gov.br).
+ * Pilots must obtain specific airspace clearance via the **DECEA SARPAS** system, matching the precise coordinates of the intended river sector.
