Seringueira Extractive Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Extrativista Seringueira is an extractive reserve in the state of Rondônia, Brazil.
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. It has an area of 537 hectares (1,330 acres). The Machadinho River runs along the west of the reserve.[1] The reserve is one of 15 small extractive reserves in the municipalities of Machadinho d'Oeste, Cujubim and Vale do Anari that originate in reservation blocks from the Machadinho and Cujubim colonization projects, cover the former Santo Antônio, São Paulo and São Gonçalo rubber plantations, and were created in the 1980s. The main product is rubber, as well as copaiba nuts and oil.[1]
