The Canutama Extractive Reserve was created by Amazonas state decree 28421 of 27 March 2009.

In December 2012 the Amazonas state government allocated more than R$6 million to these nine units, covering and 143 communities, to be coordinated by the State Center for Conservation Units (CEUC).

The management plan was approved on 22 July 2014.
As of 2016 the reserve was supported by the Amazon Region Protected Areas Program.
