The canton was formed on 8 August 1998.
Translation of the text (most probably a part of a Decree) from
"La
Hora" (defunct - reported by Olivier Touzeau, 4
March 2003):
"Flag.
Article 3. [This Decree] officializes the flag of the Canton of
Cuyabeno, designed by Tito Leonidas Guerrero Espinosa and
approved by the citizens via a canton's committee in a public
session hold on 22 August 1998.
Article 4. The flag of the Canton of Cuyabeno has the following
characteristics:
a) It is made of a rectangular piece, divided into four equal
quarters, of colours bright green, light blue and yellow;
b) Over the quarters are placed transversally three white stars,
representing the parishes of Tarapoa, Cuyabeno and Aguas Negras;
c) Bright green, colouring the upper left dexter and the lower
right sinister quarters, represents the foliage of the ancient
forest and the hope in a better future;
d) Light blue, colouring the upper sinister quarter, represents
the rivers and lagoon of the Cuyabeno Reserve,
e) Yellow, colouring the lower left dexter quarter, represents
wealth and prosperity."
If we follow verbatim the description, the image reported by Jens
Pattke and Falko Schmidt on 5 July 2007 should be
mirrored.
There is no source for the variant shown
without the star.
