The Tocantins Fossil Trees Natural Monument ("Monumento Natural das Árvores Fossilizadas do Tocantins") is a Fully Protected Conservation Unit (CU), which has 16 years of activities, since October 2016. In order to contribute to improving the management of the unit we present a synopsis of the actions developed by the staff, infrastructure, challenges and researches carried out in the CU. The provided information was collected from the report of the Unit´s supervisor and also obtained from literature. The developed investigations covered different areas of knowledge. The history of the CU was marked by some progress since 2013. Social-environmental activities are carried out inside the Conservation Unit and its buffer zones. In order to guide the conservation of the CU are performed courses and anti-fire measures, which are held periodically, directed to the Unit staff and local duelers from the MNAFTO. However, the latest survey evidences that the situation of the CU is far from ideal and a revision of the management plan is required.
