Indio Maíz Biological Reserve is situated on the southeastern corner of Nicaragua bordering the San Juan River and Costa Rica. Measuring about 3,180 square kilometers, it is one of the largest protected lowland forest system in Central America, the second largest lowland rainforest reserve in Nicaragua (after Bosawás) and is a key component in the proposed Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. It has previously been referred to as "the gem of Central American nature reserves" by UCLA biologists. Indio Maíz is rich in biodiversity, holding a higher number in species of trees, birds, and insects than all of Europe. In recent years, a growing timber and oil palm industry has led to increasing rates of deforestation along the northern and western flanks of Indio Maíz.
La Reserva Biológica Indio Maíz es considerada una de las reservas naturales mejor preservadas en Nicaragua. Ésta se localiza en la esquina sureste del país, bordeando el río San Juan.
La réserve biologique Indio Maíz est une réserve biologique située au sud-est du Nicaragua, en bordure du fleuve San Juan et d'une surface de 2 639,8 km2. Il s'agit de la deuxième plus grande étendue de forêt humide protégée au Nicaragua, ce qui lui vaut le surnom de « la perle des réserves de l'Amérique centrale » par les biologistes de l'UCLA.
