What this is
Resguardo Indígena de la Cuenca Media Y Alta del Rio Inirida is an Indigenous territory in Colombia, home to the PUINAVE, CURRIPACO, NUKAK MAKU, covering about 22,590 km². 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 2026-08-23
- Illegal-mining scars: 2 (their total extent ~117 ha, part of which may cross the boundary) — Amazon Mining Watch, cumulative since 2018
- DETER deforestation alerts cover Brazil only; for Colombia 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.
