Rainforest Ecological
Reserve
In some ways, life in the Amazon rainforest continues
just as it did a millennia ago. Both light and time seem unable
to penetrate the near hermetic canopy of towering trees sewn
together with vines and moss.
From ancient bird-eating spiders to endemic
monkeys that can sit on your fingertip, to thousand year old
indigenous tribes still hunting with blowguns and spears,
the Amazon is a virtual time machine whose every inch is energized
with life.
Though tropical rainforests cover less
than 10% of the Earth's surface, they account for over 50%
of its species. One hectare of forest in the Ecuadorian amazon boasts about
as many frog species as all of North America, and just one
Amazonian tree can host more ant species than all of the British
Isles combined. The Amazon Rainforest enthralls any person that has the
good fortune of experiencing it´s wonders. Let it captivate
you too!
