What this is

RI Guahibo y Cuiva Rio Tuparro y los Caños Malicia y Arreita (Santa Teresita Del Tuparro) is an Indigenous territory in Colombia, home to the GUAHIBO CUIVA, covering about 2,062 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: 0 — 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.
