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). Unique birdlife and a recently described endemic marsupial, Caenolestes condorensis, have also been recorded. Vegetation includes high-altitude shrublands and grasslands on sandstone formations of the Cordillera del Cóndor.[3][2]
