The river defines the western boundary of the 589,611 hectares (1,456,960 acres) Juma Sustainable Development Reserve, created in 2006 to support sustainable extraction of forest resources by the traditional population.[1] Two new species of fish have been found in the river.[2] In March 2015 Google launched imagery of the river in its "Street View" feature of Google Maps.[3]
