Terra Indígena Yanomami, Indigenous reservation in northern Amazon rainforest, Brazil.
The Yanomami territory spans 9.6 million hectares across Amazonas and Roraima states, containing diverse ecological zones from rainforests to mountain ranges.
Following international campaigns in 1992, Brazil officially established the Yanomami Indigenous Territory to protect native communities from external threats.
Yanomami communities reside in circular communal houses called shabonos, where families maintain individual hearths and participate in group ceremonies.
The territory contains sections of national parks and borders Venezuela, requiring coordination between Brazilian environmental agencies and indigenous authorities.
The Yanomami people manage approximately 60 different agricultural crops and utilize 500 plant species based on traditional ecological knowledge.
