Yaigojé-Apaporis National Park, Protected natural area in Colombian Amazon, Colombia
The Yaigojé-Apaporis National Park encompasses 1.1 million hectares of rainforest, rivers, and wetlands along the Apaporis River near the Brazilian border.
The park received official designation in October 2009 following a request from indigenous authorities to protect their ancestral lands from mining activities.
The Makuna, Tanimuka, Tuyuca, Cabiyari, and Letuama peoples maintain their connection to the forest through traditional ceremonies at sacred sites within the park.
The management of this protected area involves local indigenous communities who apply their environmental knowledge to preserve the rainforest ecosystems.
The park contains 1,683 plant species, including 33 endemic varieties, and provides habitat for jaguars, pink dolphins, giant otters, and numerous bird species.
