Apyterewa Indigenous Territory, Indigenous territory in São Félix do Xingu, Brazil.

Apyterewa Indigenous Territory extends across 773,470 hectares of land in Pará state, featuring dense forest areas and natural resources.

The Brazilian government officially designated Apyterewa as a protected indigenous territory in 2007, following decades of occupation by the Parakanã people.

The Parakanã indigenous community maintains their traditional practices and knowledge systems within the territory, sustaining a population of 452 people.

Environmental monitoring stations track deforestation activities across the territory, which faces ongoing challenges from illegal logging and land invasion.

Between 2020 and 2021, this territory recorded the highest deforestation rates among all indigenous lands in Brazil.
