The Alexander von Humboldt National Forest is a national forest of Peru. It is in the Amazon rainforest, 685 km (426 mi) by road from Lima, Peru.[1] It is one of the largest and most important forests in the Amazon.[2]
The forest was established in 1965 for production forestry.[1] In the 1970s, surveys and studies were performed.[1][3] However, the forest has been threatened by illegal logging and subsistence farming.[1]
