Key alliances with research projects focusing on some of the most vulnerable species has helped establish studies to determine the impact of tourists on them. We also follow their recommendations through voluntary management plans and monitoring programs. Macaw, otter and harpy eagle research and monitoring have been conducted on and off since the beginning of the project. Results can be downloaded from our web page.
The following chart also provides important data that proves the little impact we have on wildlife. This data has been gathered throughout the years by our guides, who register all important wildlife encounters. A sample of the most common ones has been selected for this paper.
