Airo Pai Communal Reserve
protected area in northern Peru
The Airo Pai Communal Reserve (Spanish: Reserva Comunal Airo Pai) is a protected area in northern Peru, located in the Loreto Region, within the provinces of Maynas and Putumayo. It was established on 25 October 2012 by Supreme Decree No. 006-2012-MINAM and covers an area of 2,478.88 square kilometers.
The reserve protects a variety of Amazonian ecosystems, including upland forests, palm swamps, and seasonally flooded lowlands.

The area is also culturally significant for local Indigenous communities, including the Secoya and Kichwa, who continue to use traditional pathways and sacred sites. The reserve contributes to local livelihoods by supporting subsistence activities and small-scale ecotourism.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Airo Pai Communal Reserve” as protected area in northern Peru. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as protected area in northern Peru. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q26915633. Authority coordinates are -0.650, -74.912. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
