The Canopy in Figures

Research and inventories of Inkaterra's Ecological Reserve have been conducted since 1978. Among the highlights are the inventory of insects by Professor Edward O. Wilson of Harvard University (who certified that Reserva Ecológica Inkaterra is the area with the greatest richness of ants in the world), the inventory of plants carried out by Dr. Alwyn Gentry of the Missouri Botanical Garden (with a registry of 1,070 species of vascular plants), the study of amphibians and reptiles by Dr. William Duellman (published by Cornell University Press in a 433-page book), the recording of the songs of the birds of the canopy carried out by the Peruvian biologist Edwin Salazar, and several studies published by the University of Kansas. Wildlife studies are still carried out for the purpose of establishing a continuing plan for tourism.
