About Maijuna-Kichwa
Maijuna-Kichwa Regional Conservation Area protects 391,040 hectares of pristine lowland rainforest in the districts of Putumayo, Napo, Mazán, and Pebas in Loreto, near the Colombian border, managed jointly by Maijuna and Kichwa indigenous peoples. The area encompasses the entire upper watershed of the Yanayacu and Algodón rivers, protecting one of the most intact forest blocks in the northern Peruvian Amazon. Its establishment in 2015 was a landmark achievement for indigenous communities who had campaigned for the reserve's creation for over a decade.
