Location
Name: Parque Nacional y Área Natural de Manejo Integrado Madidi (PNAMI Madidi).
Created on September 21, 1995.
Superficie: 1.895.750 ha (18.957,5 km2).
Location: western of La Paz department, Franz Tamayo and Iturralde provinces.
During the expedition, 41 species new to Madidi were identified, including two species new to Bolivia: the jet manakin (Xenopipo unicolor) and the antbird(Herpsilochmus sp. nov.), which was first observed in Peru and is in the process of being described. The baseline prior to the expedition included 987 bird species, which has now increased to 1,028 confirmed species. It is expected that this number will exceed 1,050 species given the variety of ecological zones and habitats yet to be studied.
