Under the title of “Native chestnut trees of Resex do Rio Outo Preto- RO: Potential for sustainable manjeo”. This dissertation aimed to evaluate, based on information on the population structure, the potential for sustainable management of native Brazil nut groves at Resex do Rio Ouro Preto – RO. The methodology used was the Inventory for non-timber forest products from plots of the Kamukaia Network, which aims to provide qualitative and quantitative information on the existing forest resources in a given area. Two areas were selected within the Resex of Rio Ouro Preto, one where more than five families collect Brazil nuts every year (collective); and the other where only one family collects nuts each harvest (family). In view of what has been exposed and analyzing the population structure of Brazil nut groves aiming at sustainable management in these two different places of the Resex do Rio Ouro Preto, in the municipality of Guajará-mirim - RO, the present work evaluated that the places presented potential for management and good characteristics of Brazil nut trees related to fruit production, but with specific needs to favor recruitment at Site 1 and vine cutting at Site 2
