The Tambopata Macaw Project 
Speaker: George Eade 
Tambopata Research Center lies near a riverbank deep inside an eastern Peruvian primary rainforest. It shares its space with a tourist lodge that is famous for its access to abundant wildlife, especially birds. With its location deep within a national park, it provides opportunities to experience a relatively undisturbed neo-tropical environment. In July 2013 Marin resident George Eade spent a month at the TRC as a volunteer research assistant for the Macaw Project, gathering data on macaws, parrots, and other wildlife. During his spare time there were many opportunities to explore the forest and enjoy some special neo-tropical forest encounters. George will present images from Tambopata, and discuss some of the habitat changes that are occurring in the Madre De Dios region of Peru.
