  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the village of Restauração, which is situated within Reserva Extrativista do Alto Juruá in Marechal Thaumaturgo, Acre. Referred to "A Reserva Extrativista" on the Vozes Da Floresta website for location information for Reserva Extrativista do Alto Juruá (http://vozesdafloresta.wordpress.com/a-reserva-extrativista/). Using the reference material and Google Map - Earth View, located the village of Restauração. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the village. Because Restauração does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest named place on the same side of Rio Tejo, São Francisco, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2760.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
