Madre de Dios or Puerto Maldonado to Amazon Wildlife :

Exuberant is the word that describes Madre de Dios with its infinite forests, sinuous rivers that rush towards the ocean, and life abounding in all its corners. Puerto Maldonado, the capital city, is an obligatory stop along the way to gain entrance to the national parks and reserves located in the area, and it has been, at certain moments, an important exporting site for rubber, wood, gold, and petroleum. At present, two of the main economic activities there are eco-tourism and chestnut harvesting in the Amazon Wildlife .

At only ten kilometers from Puerto Maldonado, or a one and half hour hike, you find Lake Sandoval, bordered by aguajales (swampy areas full of palm trees), orchids, kapok trees, caoba trees, and Mauritanian palm trees that grow up to thirty meters tall. The lake is also the home for a large variety of species such as toucans, macaws, parrots, egrets, tapirs, turtles, and the refuge for river otters and black caimans, two species on the brink of extinction in peru Amazon Wildlife .

In the areas around Lake Valencia, 60 kilometers from Puerto Maldonado by the Madre de Dios River, there are several indigenous communities where the people make their living from fishing for tiger shovelnose catfish, gilded catfish, and paiche; this area is the habitat for plenty of flora and fauna, too finding in Amazon Wildlife.

Amazon Wildlife to Tambopata Macaw Clay Lick Colorado :

Inside the Amazon Wildlife to Tambopata National Reserve and 150 km / 93 miles from Puerto Maldonado (12 hours by boat) The “colpa” (macaw clay lick) is a place where macaws congregate, formed along the shores of the river due to certain erosion processes that allowed the formation of soil rich in mineral salts. It is approximately 50 meters / 164 feet high, 500 meters / 1640 feet long, and is considered the largest in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest Wildlife. Every morning, six different species of macaws, parrots, and parakeets gather there in Amazon Wildlife .

These colorful birds fly around the colpa before starting the “colpeo”, which consists in eating the clay found on the cliff and serves as a nutritional supplement. After staying there from twenty-five to thirty minutes, they fly away to come back the next day. Occasionally, Brazilian tapirs, capybaras, and squirrels go there. At the top of the trees, different species of monkeys like the red howler, the caupuchin, the titi, and sometimes even spider monkeys can be seen in Amazon Wildlife.

Along with the local vegetation, you can see orchids, wild plantains, and milpesos palms, giant kapoks, mahoganys, and 30 meter / 98 feet aguaje palm trees. In this habitat lives a great variety of birds, like cormorants, toucans, macaws, parrots, horned screamers, and herons. In addition, there is a colorful variety of wild hens called hoatzin or shansho whish heads are topped with feathers.

Among its animal life, the more exotic are bearded guans, turtles (charapas and big headed motelos), crocodiles, monkeys, cormorants, and herons Giant River Otters in this nature Trips Amazon Wildlife .

The wealth of its waters allows both the Huarayos natives and the settlers of its surrounding areas to make a living from fishing for tiger shovelnose catfish, palometas, gilded catfish, piranhas, and paiches. These last ones, though, are not a native species but were brought to the lake. Along with fishing, another important economic activity is the collection of Brazil nuts in this Amazon Wildlife.

Amazon Wildlife to Tambopata Bahuaja Sonene National Park  Tambopata :

90 km / 56 miles from Puerto Maldonado (4 to 5 hours in a 55 HP boat). This national park was established in order to protect the only tropical humid savanna that exists in Peru Amazon Wildlife . The park is located between the Madre de Dios and Puno departments in the provinces of Tambopata Amazon Wildlife, Carabaya, and Sandia. It has an area of 1’091.416 hectares, and part of it is in Bolivia. The most important animals that can be found there are the maned wolf, the marsh deer, the giant anteater, the river wolf or giant otter, the bush dog, the black caiman and the harpy eagle Birds Amazon Wildlife .

Amazon Wildlife – Tambopata National Park Reserve :

TAMBOPATA NATIONAL RESERVE 45 km / 28 miles south of Puerto Maldonado (2 hours by motorboat). There is also an alternative route: 25 km / 16 miles by land (by 4×4 vehicle) to the community of Infierno and then a river crossing to the reserve (2 hours by 55 HP motor boat) Located between the basins of the Tambopata and Heath Rivers, the reserve covers an area of 274.690 hectares and is found in both the Madre de Dios and Puno departments.

The vegetation is typical of tropical regions. To enter the reserve, prior authorization from INRENA is required.

Discovery Biodiversity of the Amazon Wildlife :

The Amazon’s Wildlife unparalleled wealth of terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity conjures some of the most powerful images of what nature can offer. The Amazon Wildlife houses a staggering 10% of the world’s known biodiversity, including endemici and endangered flora and fauna. The Amazon Wildlife sustains the world’s richest diversity of birds, freshwater fish and butterflies.

It is the world’s  Amazon Wildlife last refuge for threatened species such as harpy eagles and pink river dolphins. Here, too, there are jaguars, giant otters, scarlet macaws, southern two-toed sloths, pygmy marmosets, saddleback and emperor tamarins, Goeldi’s monkeys and howler monkeys. More species of primates can be found here than anywhere else. Such is the Amazon’s Wildlife immense biological wealth that it incorporates elements of 56 Global 200 Ecoregions, landscapes of international importance, either completely or partially. In addition, six natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites and over 10 Endemic Bird Areas can be found here. The region consists of over 600 different types of terrestrial and freshwater habitats. A considerable number of the world’s plants and animals live in the Amazon Wildlife.

To date, at least 40,000 plant species have been found here , with 75% of its plants being endemic to the region. In addition, by 2005, 427 mammals, 1,300 birds, 378 reptiles, more than 400 amphibians, and at least 3,000 species of fish had been scientifically classified in the region . This is the largest number of freshwater fish species in the world. The same can almost certainly be said for invertebrates. In approximately five hectares of Amazon Wildlife  rainforest, 365 species from 68 genera of ants were found. The extent of many of the unique habitats, and the inaccessibility of much of the vast Amazon Wildlife  region has also hidden many species from scientific discovery Peru to Amazon Wildlife .

Amazon Wildlife 1,200 New species discoveries:

Humans have lived in the Amazon Wildlife region for over 11,000 years10. But it was not until the 16th century that the Amazon Wildlife river was first navigated by a Spanish explorer to Amazon Wildlife and conquistador, Don Francisco de Orellana (1511-1546). In search of vast forests of cinnamon and the fabled city of gold, El Dorado, Orellana left Quito, Ecuador in February 1541. The expedition Amazon Wildlife found neither cinnamon nor gold, but rather the greatest river on Earth – arriving at the junction of the Napo and the Amazon on 11 February 1542. Orellana named the ‘newly-discovered’ river the Rio de Orellana, a name that would later be abandoned in favour of the more familiar Rio Amazonas Wildlife , named after the mythical tribe of warrior women to Amazon Wildlife.

It was a great many years before another Amazon Wildlife  expedition – the first to travel all the way upriver. In 1637-38, the first detailed information about the Amazon Wildlife and its natural history and people was recorded by Father Cristobal de Acuña, who travelled as part of a large expedition Amazon Wildlife led by the Portuguese general Pedro Teixeira. He noted amazingly precise data on the length and size of the Amazon Wildlife, and the topography of its course, with detailed descriptions of the flooded forest areas along the river in Amazon Wildlife, the farming systems and crops of the indigenous people, and aquatic fauna. The first ‘modern’ scientific exploration of the Amazon Wildlife region was by Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Jacques Goujaud Bonpland, who would prove the existence of a water connection between the Amazon Wildlife and Orinoco river systems. After von Humboldt, a number of scientific explorers and adventurers came – including von Spix and von Martius, who made huge botanical and zoological collections in the Brazilian Amazon Wildlife in 1817-1820. Henry William Bates, who spent 11 years in the interior of Amazonia Wildlife , amassed the single largest collection of insects ever made by one individual in the region, collecting nearly 15,000 species, about 8,000 of which were new to science of the Amazon Wildlife.

Amazon Wildlife Protected areas – Discovery Biodiversity:

Increases in the coverage of the Amazon Wildlife protected area network, and with it the securing of important habitats, ecosystems of the Amazon Wildlife, and biological diversity, have certainly aided scientists in their discoveries of new species. One of the most high-profile protected areas is Tumucumaque Mountains National Park, established in 2002. The park’s borders were strategically designed to protect its high biodiversity and were conceived  (the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources), under the guidance of Brazil’s Ministry of the Environment. At 38,800 sq km, the park is the world’s largest tropical forest national park – equivalent in size to Switzerland. Threatened species there include jaguars and harpy eagles, animals that require large areas of rainforest for their survival in the Amazon Wildlife .

With support from the Amazon Wildlife Region Protected Areas  programme, by the end of 2009 a total of 25 million hectares of new protected areas had been created in the Brazilian Amazon Wildlife, more than doubling the area under protection prior to the programme’s initiation. The park’s designation was the first success of the  programme, which is securing long-term protection for some of the Amazon’s Wildlife most important biological and ecological features in a system of well-managed parks and reserves. In protecting key portions of the Amazon forest,  is also providing security to numerous local communities that depend on the forest to Amazon Wildlife, while protecting an amazing range of bird, mammal, fish, reptile and amphibian species. It is expected  will eventually support the establishment and effective management of 60 million hectares (600,000 sq km) of protected areas in the Brazilian Amazon Wildlife.

Ecuador’s Yasuni National Park has possibly the highest biological diversity in the world. Manu National Park in Peru, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to 850 species of birds, and protects 10% of plant species on Earth. A single hectare of rainforest in Manu can shelter more than 220 species of trees, whereas in Europe and North America a hectare of temperate woodland might have only 20 species of trees in this Amazon Wildlife.

It is in parks such as these that scientists have been able to further explore the wild and beautiful rainforest to Amazon Wildlife and the real extent of the biodiversity found in Amazon Wildlife. This has led to some remarkable species being discovered by dedicated scientists in the last decade. Recent surveys have yielded extraordinary results, such as the rufous twistwing (Cnipodectes superrufus), discovered in Manu National Park; the Amazon Wildlife sundew (Drosera amazonica) discovered in the Parque Estadual do Rio Negro Setor Sul in Brazil; a new snake species (Atractus tamessari) discovered in the Kaieteur National Park, Guyana; and a stunning poison dart frog (Ranitomeya amazonica) from the Reserva Nacional Alpahuayo Mishana, Peru Amazon Wildlife.

Such is the phenomenal rate of discovery in the Amazon Wildlife that between 1999 and 2009 at least 1,222 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the region. The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals, in addition to thousands of new invertebrate species not covered in detail by this report. Many of the new species are highly endemic or rare, further highlighting the importance of protected areas in the conservation of species in the Amazon Wildlife.

But this represents just scratching the surface of the Amazon  Wildlife . Much remains unknown to scientists. The scientific world is only just realising what indigenous people in the Amazon Wildlife have known for centuries: the many ancestral cultures still alive in the Amazon have a deep knowledge of the riches of the region. This knowledge may prove essential for the success of future efforts to preserve them in this reserve Amazon Wildlife.

Amazon Wildlife Travel Peru Sandoval Lake Lodge 3 days / 2 nights:

Travel Peru Sandoval Lake Lodge 3 days: (amale Red Howler Monkey) Amazon Wildlife Rainforest sends a deafening roar through the Amazon Wildlife rainforest of the other two howler monkeys observed. Howler monkeys commonly howl at dawn, during storms, and in the afternoon. The session usually starts howling when the male begins issuing a series of deep growls slowly into the long, horrible roar that sounds. Often embras join in with high-pitched roar of yours. The purpose of the roar that can be heard for miles, is to alert other red howler monkeys to the location of the troops, which reduces potential territorial disputes. After having finished their morning roars of the howler then pass quietly the rest of their days feeding on leaves discreetly within the Amazon Wildlife Sandoval Lake Tambopata Tours.

Then, we go back to the lodge to be given breakfast. Later, we take a next trip going to observe stunning flora and fauna of the Sandoval Lake Reserve.

We can appreciate monkeys, deer, wild boars, tapirs or spectacled bears, just to name a few. We return to the  Sandoval lake  lodge for lunch. Afterwards, we get ready for a return way boarding a canoe again to sail over the Sandoval Lake followed by a walk to the checkpoint and from there sailing the Madre de Dios River by a motorboat towards Puerto Maldonado. We pick our baggage up in our office and then, we are transferred either to the airport or the coach terminal.

Amazon Wildlife  Collpas in Tambopata National Reserve and the Bahuaja Sonene National Park

The Collpas are key to conservation and tourism in southeastern Peru areas. Previous studies by members of the Tambopata Macaw Project have shown that the area of southeastern Peru have high abundance of bird and mammal clay licks and licks of birds anywhere in South America and probably the world (Brightsmith et al. 2009, Lee et al. 2009). These licks are visited by several species of large animals such as macaws, parrots, tapirs, monkeys (Alouatta and Ateles), peccaries, deer, etc., in their eagerness to consume land to supplement their diet (Kyle 2001 Brightsmith et al., 2009).

In itself, big cats and other predators also frequent much in their attempt to get prey. Many of these animals are important tourist attractions of the region as well as important sources of animal protein for local people (Redford 1992). In turn, many of these species play important roles in the ecosystem, such as seed dispersal and regulate populations through predation. Our studies also show that the vast majority of the Mother of God licks are not being exploited by humans (Brightsmith et al. 2009). This puts us in an excellent position from the point of view of conservation, it gives us the opportunity to study in their natural state collpas so we can decide that we need a better way to preserve its pristine form and in which we operate sustainably for ecological and anthropological benefit.

Because of the importance of collpas for the area and the fact that the Mother of God is the epicenter of global abundance and diversity of licks, it is imperative that the SERNANP and other conservation agencies that have been working in the area have a protection plan and sustainable management and consider it in one of his highest strategic priorities. Moreover now, the urgency to monitor animal populations and their interactions are increased due to the completion of construction of the Interoceanic Highway. The fact collpas map in the Tambopata National Reserve (RNTAMB) and Bahuaja Sonene National Park (PNBS) allow specialists to plan management strategies and joint monitoring of the many licks itself as animal populations of species “flags” that They use them.

Amazon Wildlife River Tambopata Reserve:

The Tambopata river is a medium-low densities collpas (~ 0.19 km, the overall average being 0.36 per km). In this river are two of the most famous clay lick area: Lick Collpa Colorado and Chuncho. In the Tambopata is at least 3 collpas high importance to monitor: Colorado, Chuncho and mammals clay lick located behind the PC Malinowski.

Amazon Wildlife Heath River:

“Rio Heath” was named the transect Heath River covered by the confluence of this river with the Mother River under God, border with Bolivia on the right bank of the Mother River under God (starting point) to 60 linear kilometers from the mouth to the ravine Sabaluyo (endpoint), located on the Peruvian border with Bolivia.

Amazon Wildlife River Chuncho – Collpas:

“Rio Chuncho” was named the River transect Chuncho understood at the confluence of this river with the Rio Tambopata (starting point) located on the right bank of the Rio Tambopata, up to 10 km line from the mouth (end point).

Amazon Wildlife River Tower – Collpas:

To search for collpas in the River Tower, it proceeded to set the starting point of the route to be realized. “Rio La Torre” transect was called the River La Torre understood at the confluence of this river with the Rio Tambopata (starting point) located on the right bank of the Rio Tambopata, linear up to 25 km from the mouth (end point). The linear distance between the starting point and end point was 25 km linear. This distance is divided into 5 sections of 5 km linear each. The establishment of the initial points and end sections are performed using Google Earth 5.0 program (2007). All river transects were located in the last 2 km for the section. For transects broken, it was pre-tested in order to establish those which could be driven, for a total of 16 streams recorded in the GPS. They plan to walk along the river 2: left and right (transect river) margin. In turn, 2 km linear broken located in the corresponding section (broken transect) are crossed. Whenever possible, the location of streams intercropped with respect to the riverbank.

Amazon Wildlife Rio Azul- Collpas:

To search for collpas in the Blue River, we proceeded to set the starting point of the route to be realized. “Blue River” was named the Blue River transect covered by the confluence of this river with the Rio Malinowski (starting point), located on the right bank Malinowski, up to 10 km line from the mouth (end point).

Amazon Wildlife Lick Chuncho – Tambopata Reserve:

According to user feedback, the Collpa Chuncho is receiving more use by parrots and macaws. At the same time, the use of tourism is also intensifying. During the last years of the current project members and the macaw project they have seen several behaviors that may be having a negative impact on this lick and birds that use it.

Amazon Wildlife Colorado Clay Lick – Tambopata Reserve:

This lick has hosted research for many years and has been considered the birds lick most diverse of all documented yet. The site has been intensively used for tourism since 1998 and has been monitored by scientists since 1999. In 2009 it reported a big drop in the number of birds that are using this collpa due to landslides and the growth of vegetation around the areas most used by birds. Because of this decline in use, SERNANP conducted a cleaning action in January 2010 and scheduled another cleaning by May 2011. Due to the direct intervention, intensive management, and intensive tourism is a high priority follow monitoring this lick. Currently the Tambopata Macaw Project is monitoring this lick and will continue to do this monitoring.

Amazon Wildlife  lick Malinowski – Tambopata Reserve:

Behind the PC Malinowski is a clay lick used by tapir, peccary, deer, preserve, parakeets and other mammalian species. According to reports we have received, this lick is visited by hunters. As this clay lick is located outside the RNTAMB so this hunt is considered legal (as far as we understand). Due to the large size of the lick, the number of species that make use of it, hunting pressure and easy access, this lick should be a priority for monitoring the Tambopata Reserve.

Amazon Wildlife River Madre de Dios:

The sector of the lower Rio Madre de Dios was not formally included in this part of the project, to be formally included in the work of 2007 (Brightsmith et al. 2009). Despite this, in the two phases of the project we have visited a parrot clay lick located on the north bank (left) of the lower Madre de Dios use receiving a lot of parrots. This collpa being on the bank of the river is known by many people, it is exposed to much boat traffic, mining and other human activities. It is not known whether the large macaws formerly used this clay lick, but human activities may be having an impact on the use of this clay lick. Despite high rates of animal trafficking in Peru in general (Mendoza et al. 2008, 2008 Suasnabar Astete, Gastaña et al. 2010, Ortiz 2010), currently there seems to be low levels of trade in wild animals in Mother God. But with the completion of the Interoceanic is quite possible that the rate of capture of parrots for traffic will increase especially since the two neighboring countries (Bolivia and Brazil) have high numbers of illegal trafficking of wild animals (Renctas 2001, Herrera & Hennessey 2007). If this traffic starts increasing imagine that one of the first sites that would notary in large and accessible collpas like this on the banks of the Madre de Dios.

Amazon Wildlife Sandoval Lake Sector:

Parallel to this collpas mapping project, the team has conducted monitoring of “licks palm” in Sandoval. This area is called “lick palm” because the palms have high concentrations of sodium and large parrots and macaws behave in much the same way when they visit the clay lick land . This phenomenon has been recorded on a small scale in many different places from Iquitos to Brazil, but to date we do not know other places where parrots consume salty trees on such a large scale. It is usually a small number of birds consuming a single tree, and when the tree falls the activity is over. But Sandoval there are dozens of trees used by birds and the activity has more than seven years of continuous activity (Brightsmith & Lee 2004, Flowers & Quillahuamán 2004 del Amazon Wildlife  .

These licks are threatened by uncontrolled tourism. Tourists come and go in full swing and regularly scare the birds that are consuming the palms (Ramirez & Brightsmith 2011). There is also risk of forest fires in the area, such as occurred in 2005 (Brightsmith et al. 2008). According to our observations in previous years, the fire increases the number of dead and dying palm trees that can increase opportunities for use by birds (Ramirez & Brightsmith 2011). But if these fires begin to lower the rate of regeneration of the palm trees they could jeopardize the future of this resource. Active monitoring of these licks by park rangers not only provides information about the management of the area, would also help to control the tourist use of the area. Because of the risks and benefits of resource monitoring, we suggest that continuous monitoring of the clay lick Sandoval palms should also be a high priority. For more details about this resource and its use can see the report on this part of the work (Ramirez & Brightsmith 2011) Amazon Wildlife .

Amazon Wildlife Suitable for monitoring Collpas – Tambopata Reserve – Sandoval Lake:

In several parts of the reserve are licks that are not necessarily now threatened but are located near checkpoints or near tourist lodges that could facilitate monitoring. Monitoring of this group of licks can provide insight on natural dynamics of licks and can serve to detect patterns of animal populations collpean the level of the entire reservation. For example it can detect reductions in abundance of animals because of disease or other processes that may impact the level of animals areas of thousands of hectares in a short time. It also serves to detect and monitor new risks collpas close to centers of human use. In the case of monitoring sites used by tourists, they can give more information on the impact of tourism on collpas and suggest new ways to mitigate this impact. A partial list of suitable collpas for monitoring is in Annex 3. Below we present a discussion of the licks that can be easily monitored Amazon Wildlife .

Amazon Wildlife Capibara in the Amazon Peru Abstract  :The capibara (Hydorchoerus hydrochaeris) was studied in ArnazonianFloodplain forest, in the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, over several years. This paper reports on the habitat preferences and use, daily activities, diet, and intraspecific relationships of the species. The capybara restricted its activities almost entirely to river habitat. The main study group used borne range of 17 -22 ha Its boundaries and size fluctuated over years, and it did not constitute exclusive territory. The principal day and night activities consisted of resting, feeding, and traveling. The capybara fed on over 40 plant species, but principally on Echinocloa polystachya andon other Gramineae. Eight species of birds associated actively with capybaras, feeding on insects these attracted or flushed The jaguar (Panthera onca) and the anaconda (Eunectes murinus) were the principal predators of capybaras en el Amazon Wildlife .
