According to various studies, the level of deforestation caused by the presence of invading colonists in the BOSAWAS biosphere reserve is such that in a period of thirty years, this Reserve called the Central American lung, could disappear. Between 1999 and 2015, a total of 31,000 ha of primary forest was lost, with annual deforestation rates ranging from 700 to 2,000 ha / year. The environmental, socioeconomic, cultural and migratory statistical results provided by this recent and comprehensive diagnostic study on the activities of the settlers settled in the most extensive of these indigenous territories - the Mayangna Sauni As - also reveal, in a contextual way, the causes of predation in BOSAWAS. The Indigenous Territorial Government Mayangna Sauni As has taken this information as a reference, and, through this study, reaffirms the urgent need for territorial sanitation of third parties in its territory.
