  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to the ICMBio website (http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/biodiversidade/unidades-de-conservacao/biomas-brasileiros/amazonia/unidades-de-conservacao-amazonia/1988-parna-do-virua.html) for the precise location of PARNA Viruá (synonymous with Parque Nacional do Virua). ICMBio provides a shapefile (.kmz) of the boundaries of PARNA Viruá, which may be viewed on Google Earth. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of PARNA Viruá in Roraima, Brazil. Using Google Earth, opened the .kmz file displaying the boundaries of PARNA Viruá. The park is roughly bounded by Rio Branco to the west, Rio Anauá to the south, BR-174 to the northeast, and Estrada Perdida to the east. Located the area of PARNA Viruá on Google Maps - Satellite View. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the park. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent of the park by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the park. Input coordinates, linear extent (43261.1 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
