. Ecuador : Territorio Cofan Dureno. Natural history; Wildlife conservation; Biodiversity conservation; Cofán Indians. RESULTS AT A GLANCE Dates of fieldwork 23 May-1 June 2007 Region The Dureno Territoryâpart of the Cofan ancestral territoriesâlies in the extraordinarily species-rich, northwestern reaches of the Amazon basin, in the Sucumbios Province of eastern Ecuador. The 9,469-hectare forest remnant on the southern banks of the Aguarico River, managed by the Cofan, has been surrounded by a grid of roads since the late 1970s (Fig. 15). By the mid-1990s the adjacent lowlands had been denuded, leaving the forest block isolated (Fig. 9). The streams that traverse the Territory all flow into the Pisorié River (Pisuri in Spanish), a southern tributary of the Aguarico River. Inventory sites We sampled three Amazonian lowland sites inside the Dureno Territory. The site names are, in Cofan: ⢠Pisorié Setsa'cco ("peninsula of the Pisorié River"), on a flat terrace 600 m west of the Aguarico River; â Baboroé (named for the nearest Cofan settlement), on a terrace about 3 km south of the Aguarico River; and â Totoa Nai'qui (the Cofan name for the Aguas Blancas River), 400 m east of the western boundary of the Dureno Territory.
