The Mujica Nava Ecological Station (Portuguese: Estação Ecológica Antônio Mujica Nava is (or was) an ecological station in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. In 2010 it was incorporated into the Mapinguari National Park, but this decision was later challenged.
The Mujica Nava Ecological Station (ESEC) is in the municipality of Porto Velho, Rondônia, and was created with an area of 18,280.85 hectares (45,173.0 acres). It adjoins the border with the state of Amazonas and the Serra dos Três Irmãos Ecological Station.[1] It is drained by tributaries of the Madeira River. Altitudes range from 100 to 200 metres (330 to 660 ft). It has similar fauna and flora to the neighboring Serra dos Três Irmãos ESEC. The ESEC is almost entirely covered by open submontane rainforest.[2]
