The Manuripi Reserve has been implementing a sustainable forest management model for more than a decade. This model promotes nature conservation, development, and the active participation of local communities that benefit from Brazil nut(Bertholletia excelsa) harvesting. The management of the protected area has strengthened the relationship between local stakeholders and managers. It is also solid because the production of Brazil nut and other non-timber products in the reserve promotes economic profitability for the local population in addition to promoting policies and strengthening the institution.

Sustainable forest management as a national strategy to implement is also echoed in the local communities, who through a strong local organization have benefits from the sale of Brazil nuts and bonuses for having a product with international certification that recognizes Brazil nuts as a product of wild origin.
