Summary: Copaifera species produce a type of oleoresin, popularly known as copaiba oil that is used in traditional medicine mainly as an anti-inflammatory and to speed the healing of wounds. It is also widely commercialized in pharmaceutical and cosrnetíc industries, which makes it an important source of income for many Amazonian extractive communities. However, the production ecology of copaiba oleoresin remains unknown, due in part to the lack of comparative studies about the productive potential of different species and the factors that influence its production.
