Research has shown that the TRZ (now known as the Tambopata National Reserve) contains more bird and butterfly species than any other location of its size on Earth. Since its creation the reserve has attracted a great many ornithologists, and this list of species has been compiled on the basis of observations within an 8km radius of the Explorer`s Inn, although most are likeliy to be found in the vicinty of other lodges and in much of Amazonia.Each species in the list is accompanied by 5 columns of notes corresponding to habitats, foraging position, sociality (ie social nature of the bird when foraging, not nesting), abundance & page number where the bird can be found in A Field Guide to the Birds of Peru by Clements & Shany.Also listed are species which can be found around Puerto Maldonado and along the Rio Tambopata.A list of references and internet resources is provided.Proceeds from the sale of this booklet go towards the Tambopata Reserve Society (TReeS) which is pressing for biodiversity conservation and sound environmental management in the rainforests of the Department of Madre de Dios.
