Camurica (Kari'ña)

What this is

Camurica (Kari'ña) is an Indigenous territory in Venezuela, home to the Kari'ña, covering about 184 km², recognised in 2012. RAISG records 350 inhabitants. Indigenous-held forest is among the best-conserved in the basin; detections inside it are a measure of pressure on the people who keep it standing.

Detections centred inside · as of 2026-09-12

• Illegal-mining scars: 0 — Amazon Mining Watch, cumulative since 2018
• DETER deforestation alerts cover Brazil only; for Venezuela the live dashboard shows Global Forest Watch's integrated alerts over this boundary
• Active fires are a 48-hour feed and change daily — see them live on the dashboard below

A detection counts here when its centre point falls inside the boundary at the time of the monthly bake; extents are the detections' own areas and can straddle the edge. A detection is a satellite-seen change, not a verdict on legality.
