Global change bioindicators in the Yasuní National Park in Ecuador
The Yasuní National Park is located in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, across the sub-basins of the Tiputini, Yasuní, Nashiño, Cononaco and Curaray rivers, tributaries of the Napo River, flowing into the Amazon. The Yasuní National Park and its surroundings are considered the most biodiverse area on the planet for its species richness. This park contains more animal species by hectare than all Europe. The main goal of the scientific expeditions carried out in Yasuní is studying biodiversity, global change and ethnoecology in the equatorial Amazon. These ultimately aim to collect information for a biological richness inventory and study the effects of climate change on the region’s biodiversity.
