The Chayu Nain Communal Reserve (Spanish : Reserva Comunal Chayu Nain) is a protected area in the Amazonas Region of northern Peru, located in the districts of Aramango, Imaza, and Cajaruro, spanning the provinces of Bagua and Utcubamba. [1]
The reserve was officially created on December 9, 2009, through Supreme Decree No. 021-2009-MINAM. It covers an area of 23,597.76 hectares (58,311.3 acres) and is part of Peru's National System of Natural Protected Areas. [2]
The reserve is home to key species such as the yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda), spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus), and South American tapir (Tapirus terrestris).
