The Seringueira Extractive Reserve[a] is in the municipality of Vale do Anari, Rondônia, to the south of Machadinho d'Oeste, in land that has been largely deforested.

[1] The Seringueira Extractive Reserve was created by Rondônia state decree 7.108 on 4 September 1995.

It was created as a territorial space for sustainable use and conservation of renewable natural resources by the agro-extractive population.

[1] The reserve was created by Rondônia governor Valdir Raupp in response to illegal and predatory pressure on forest areas occupied by traditional populations, causing irreversible loss of plant resources and wildlife and exacerbating social conflicts.

[2] The reserve is the responsibility of the Rondônia Secretariat of State for the Environment (SEDAM/RO - Secretaria de Estado do Meio Ambiente).
