Yanesha Communal Reserve, Protected natural area in Oxapampa Province, Peru
The Yanesha Communal Reserve encompasses 34,745 hectares of primary Amazon forest and freshwater ecosystems on the slopes of the Amazon basin.
The Peruvian government established this protected area in 1988 to safeguard both the natural environment and the indigenous communities living within its boundaries.
The Yanesha people maintain full management of the reserve, integrating their traditional knowledge with modern conservation practices to preserve their ancestral territory.
Visitors can participate in guided tours led by community members to learn about local wildlife, including red brocket deer, monkeys, and numerous bird species.
The reserve forms part of the UNESCO-designated Oxapampa-Ashaninka-Yanesha Biosphere Reserve, connecting with Yanachaga-Chemillen National Park to create an extensive protected zone.
