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.
