TAMBOPATA RESERVE CENTER AMAZON TRIP:

Parrots are perhaps some of the most charming and intelligent birds of all, yet they are also among the most threatened. All species of parrots except four are listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and most parrots are endangered or critically endangered. Macaws are the largest and most spectacular parrots, ranging from northern Argentina to central Mexico, comprising seventeen existing species, one recently extinct in the wild, and ten critically endangered. The decline in macaw populations is largely due to anthropogenic reasons such as poaching and habitat alteration, and macaws struggle to recover because they are much more valuable for ecotourism. Studies suggest that a single bird can generate more income over its lifetime through tourism than its value as an object of illegal trade.

The Scarlet Macaw species (Ara macao) draws tourists and scientists from around the world to the Tambopata Research Center

in Madre de Dios, Peru, to admire its magnificence in the wild. By studying macaws, scientists uncover valuable information about their behavior, phylogeny, and breeding habits, enabling them to focus on specific conservation strategies rather than captive breeding efforts that resulted in a group of birds called ‘chicos’, which cannot function normally in the wild. Conservation efforts for macaws at the Tambopata Research Center effectively combine lucrative and informative ecotourism with scientific research exploring behavioral and environmental interactions of macaws, allowing the development of effective conservation strategies that protect wild macaw populations instead of relying on captive breeding efforts.

The Amazon is extremely diverse,

but large wildlife encounters are uncommon. Tambopata is one of the world’s most diverse and best-preserved rainforests. However, the vast majority of jungle diversity comes in the form of insects. The world record diversity of birds and mammals is mostly in the form of small and unspectacular species. Large spectacular species are rare, shy, unpredictable, and very difficult to see, with few notable exceptions. So, do not expect the wildlife density of African savannas or the Antarctic Peninsula.

We are not in Jurassic Park or Disneyland either. However, Tambopata is diverse, well-preserved, and exciting encounters occur on a regular basis.

At the Tambopata Research Center,

you will have some of the best opportunities in the Amazon to see jaguars, tapirs, giant river otters, harpy eagles, macaws, etc. However, the best opportunities in the Amazon for some of these species are very slim, though they do occur. On average, for example, we encounter about 20 jaguars per year, perhaps the most difficult to spot among the mentioned species.
