The Guariba-Roosevelt Extractive Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Extrativista Guariba Roosevelt) is an extractive reserve in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. A small traditional population live through fishing, hunting, small-scale agriculture and sale of forest products such as nuts. The reserve is under intense pressure from illegal logging and land grabbing.
