| SCIENCE AND RESEARCH IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON | ||
This service on science and research is directed to scientists visiting the
Peruvian Amazon, and the public in general, providing a view on the current
research topics at the local universities and institutions. On this website one
can identify projects and activities, search for contacts, natural parks,
biodiversity strategies and research permits.
The service is also designed to help foreign researchers with their
investigations in the Peruvian Amazon. We offer support with many practical
questions like the right contacts, field assistants, local research interests,
etc.
The Peruvian Amazon is characterized by its unique ecosystem and species richness, endemism and cultural diversity. The rainforest is home to various indigenous peoples who are keeping alive the traditional knowledge they have guarded for thousands of years. High biological and cultural diversity makes the Peruvian Amazon Region a privileged place for biodiversity, evolutionary, cultural and business studies. More studies are also needed for the development of the region. All studies performed in the region should relate to global, regional and national policies and contribute to the regional development. This set of scientific services offers administrative support making it easier for scientists to establish themselves in the area. We offer help and information on all the necessary procedures needed before starting a research project in Loreto. Already at the planning stage of your research, the Web site may be useful, providing information on the strengths and priorities for investigation in the region. These are identified by local research institutions looking for strategic partners. We also provide information on logistic services, for example transport, hotels and restaurants, that will help you organize your stay in the Peruvian Amazon. |
