About Matsés
Matsés National Reserve protects the ancestral territory of the Matsés indigenous people and the surrounding lowland Amazonian forests in Loreto, bordering Brazil. The reserve encompasses the headwaters of the Gálvez and Yaquerana rivers and contains remarkable biodiversity in virtually undisturbed rainforest. It was established in close collaboration with the Matsés community and forms a critical buffer alongside the neighboring Matsés Indigenous Territory.
