Sailing the Beni River at the gates of the Madidi National Park, Bolivia.
I was on expedition in the Tuichi river with park rangers from Madidi National Park. They carry out surveillance against illegal jaguar poachers. Madidi is part of one of the largest protected areas in the world. Ranging from the glacier-covered peaks of the high Andes Mountains to the tropical rainforests of the Tuichi River, Madidi and its neighbors are recognized as one of the planet’s most biologically diverse regions. In particular, Madidi protects parts of the Bolivian Yungas and Bolivian montane dry forests ecoregions.
