Located in the state of Tocantins, the Bananal River and its surrounding area are part of a significant ecological region characterized by diverse flora and fauna. The river is important for local communities, providing transportation routes and supporting fishing activities. The land encompassing the Bananal River and Bananal Island contains a mix of protected areas and indigenous territories.
