Amazonian savannas or pampas

The savannas are dominated by grasses, but in some sectors a high density of woody species (shrubs and trees) occur, and in other sectors they form small islands, which over time may give rise to larger forest islands. As one moves eastward, an immense patch of palms appears, followed by small shrub islands, until reaching a gallery forest at the headwaters of the Moa river.

In total, 107 species of plants, 44 species and subspecies of diurnal butterflies and 162 species of vertebrates were recorded, of which 38 are new species for Madidi, 1 for Bolivia and 15 for science.
