About Codo del Pozuzo
Codo del Pozuzo Regional Conservation Area protects 10,453 hectares of montane rainforest in the Codo del Pozuzo district, Puerto Inca Province, Huánuco, guarding the strategic headwaters of the Sungaroyacu and Pozuzo rivers that supply water to Pozuzo and Palcazu valleys. Established in 2022, the reserve conserves a highly threatened forest corridor connecting the Pozuzo valley cloud forests with the Amazonian lowlands, sheltering species characteristic of the Peruvian Yungas including spectacled bears, numerous endemic birds, and diverse orchids. The ACR supports the ecological integrity of the broader Palcazu-Pichis-Pachitea watershed.
