About Amarakaeri
Amarakaeri Communal Reserve in Madre de Dios protects the headwaters of the Madre de Dios River system on the eastern slopes of the Andes, managed by Harakmbut, Matsigenka, and Yine indigenous peoples. Pioneered after 18 years of indigenous land rights advocacy, it represents a landmark in community-based conservation in Peru. Its forests shelter jaguars, giant otters, giant armadillos, and remarkable bird diversity at the interface of Andean cloud forests and Amazonian lowlands.
