Vale do Javari
Tierra Indígena · Brazil · 5°52′S 71°22′W
What this is
Vale do Javari is an Indigenous territory in Brazil, home to the Isolados do Alto Jutaí/Isolados do Jandiatuba/Isolados do Quixito/Isolados do São José/Isolados Kanamari/Isolados Korubo/Kanamari/Korubo/Kulina Pano/Marubo/Matis/Matsés/Tsohom-dyapa, covering about 85,741 km², recognised in 2001. RAISG records 6,317 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
- Deforestation alerts (DETER, 12 months to 2026-09-05): 0 — drawn from the 6,000 largest alerts in the Legal Amazon, so small clearings are not included
- 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.
