Puina I

High Andean Puna (Puina, 2015)

The third study site, in the high Andean region, comprises mountainous areas between 4,100 m and 4,900 m a.s.l. The temperature varies between 0 °C to 9 °C. The vegetation is characterized by the presence of low grasslands with a predominance of grasses and rosette plants. The presence of keñua (Polylepis spp.) and Andean peat bogs or bofedales is also characteristic of this zone.Polylepis spp.) y de bofedales es también característico de esta zona.

In total, 55 plant species, 4 species and subspecies of diurnal butterflies and 81 vertebrate species were recorded, of which 29 are new species for Madidi and one species is a candidate for science.

      High Andean vegetation (Chokollo, 2017)

      November 20-26

      The fifteenth study site of the expedition was in the High Andes, between November 20th and 26th, 2017. This site is the highest in the protected area, with an altitudinal gradient from 4,800 to 6,044 m asl. The camp was established at Chokollo on the border with Peru. The biodiversity assessment was carried out between 4,800 and 5,300 m asl.

      The topography includes high mountains with snow-capped peaks and large glacial lakes. The vegetation is composed of grass communities and shrubs that do not exceed 100 cm in height. The ground level vegetation grows in the form of cushions or rosettes. Vegetation formations associated with water bodies, known as bofedales, are essential for a diversity of wildlife and domestic camelids.

      In total, 75 plant species, 11 species and subspecies of diurnal butterflies and 52 vertebrate species were recorded, of which 53 are new species for Madidi, 1 for Bolivia and 2 for science.

        Montane rainforest (Mamacoma, 2016)

        Montane rainforest

        The eighth study site of the expedition was conducted between June 16th and July 7th, 2016, in the pluvial montane forest of Mamacona, in the Yungas between 1,500 and 1,800 m a.s.l. The camp was located on the banks of the Huarajo river, one of the headwaters of the Hondo river.

        The landscape is a set of hills, with associated ravines and small rivers. It contains medium-sized trees and very few tall trees, and in the upper hills and on the plateaus, the trees are small. It is characterized by high densities of a palm tree known as tola and the copal tree. In certain sectors there are immense patches of tacuara or bamboo.

        In total, 378 plant species, 171 species and subspecies of diurnal butterflies and 239 vertebrate species were recorded, of which 76 are new species for Madidi, one for Bolivia and two for science.
