In a 620-square-mile research reserve north of Manaus, Brazil there are seven working camps that support scientists and students conducting field research on biological diversity and the impacts of forest fragmentation on that diversity. The reserve is managed and operated by the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA) and the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio).
One camp in particular – Camp 41 – has a special place in the hearts of travelers who were lucky enough to visit with Tom Lovejoy. It is named Camp 41 because it is located at the 41st kilometer marker on the reserve road.
We look forward to fostering new programmatic and joint collaborative research opportunities with Camp 41.
