The Jacupiranga State Park (Portuguese: Parque Estadual de Jacupiranga) was a state park in São Paulo, Brazil.It covered a large, mountainous region that included untouched Atlantic Forest and land occupied by traditional communities.When the park was created in 1969 the residents could no longer legally practice sustainable farming and extraction of forest resources, leading to land use conflicts, which mounted as the BR-116 highway opened the park to squatters from elsewhere. Eventually, in 2008 the park was combined with surrounding territory and broken up into three smaller state parks and various other units in which sustainable development was allowed.
