This is a reference page for Botany resources in Manu National Park and Southeastern Amazonia. The information here was compiled by Patricia Alvarez Loyza and C, E> Timothy Paine, while working in the Biological Station Cocha Cashu. This was part of the project "Dynamics, forest growth, seeds dispersion and light measurement at Manu National Park and Manu Biosphere Reserve ", of Dr. John Terborgh, Director of the Center for Tropical Conservation and James B. Duke Professor of Duke University. We are still working in the guides and hopefully we will be able to provide more information sooner.
