it is exactly because of this definition that all national parks in brazil are open to the public and used actively to educate and develop sustainable activities and eco-tourism.

all national parks in brazil and rio de janeiro are managed by the instituto chico mendes de conservação da biodiversidade - icambio, the national institution in charge of overseeing protection  and sustainable development of these protected areas.

there are nearly 90 national parks in brazil, and of these rio de janeiro state is home to five national parks, very different one from the other, and all equally enchanting and rich.
