Territorio tradicional Kari'ña
Área Indígena de uso tradicional · Venezuela · 8°24′N 63°23′W
What this is
Territorio tradicional Kari'ña is an Indigenous territory in Venezuela, home to the Kari'ña, covering about 3,048 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: 1 (their total extent ~23 ha, part of which may cross the boundary) — 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.
