Protected area in the Loreto Region of northeastern Peru
The Bajo Putumayo Yaguas Communal Reserve (Spanish: Reserva Comunal Bajo Putumayo Yaguas) is a protected area located in the Putumayo Province of the Loreto Region, Peru. It was created on 26 September 2025 by Supreme Decree No. 020-2025-MINAM, covering an area of about 1,606.04 km² of Amazonian forest near the border with Colombia. The communal reserve is co-managed by SERNANP and an Administrative Contract Executor (ECA) representing the Bora, Ocaina, Kichwa, Murui-Muinani, Yagua, and Ticuna peoples.[1]
The reserve aims to conserve four ecosystems and two Amazonian ecoregions that host 4,554 species of flora and fauna, including 70 threatened species. The area shelters around 65% of Peru’s freshwater fish species and 32% of its recorded mammals.[1]
