"Andes Amazon Fund celebrates the expansion of the Titanho Nijaamu La Libertad
Indigenous Reserve or Resguardo in the Amazonas department of Colombia.
Located along the Amazon River near the intersection of the Colombian,
Peruvian, and Brazilian borders, the La Libertad Indigenous Reserve was
originally titled in December 2020, with an area of 6,822 acres (2,670 ha). The
expansion adds 54,169 acres (21,921 hectares), bringing the total area to
60,991 acres (24,681 hectares). The reserve is home to 489 people belonging to
four ethnic groups: Yagua, Ticuna, Cocama, and Yacuna. This expansion
recognizes the territorial rights of these Indigenous Peoples, while also
protecting thousands of acres of rainforest ecosystems and Amazon River
tributaries."
