  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the shore across Rio Javari (synonymous with Rio Yavari) from the approximate geographic center of the village of Paumari in Atalaia do Norte, Amazonas. Referred to Selva Aventura website for location information for Paumari (http://www.selvaventura.org/#!canopy-paumari-en/c1950). According to the site, the Paumari community is located in the hilly area adjacent to the Palmari Nature Reserve. Using the reference material and Google Maps - Terrain and Satellite View, located the approximate location of Paumari village, on the hilly area adjacent to Palmari Reserve. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the area directly across Rio Javari from the geographic center of the shore of Paumari, in Peru. Used the linear extent of Paumari village as linear extent of this site. Because Paumari village does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the geographic center of Paumari to the nearest named place along Rio Javari within Brazil, Heliconia Natural Reserve (did not measure to the Palmari Reserve because the Paumari village may be partially/entirely contained by the Reserve), then halved this distance to approximate the linear extent of the village of Paumari. Input coordinates, linear extent of Paumari (4256.83 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Site is located in Loreto Region, Peru.
