2019 has been a wake-up call for many people, but definitely not for big business. With so much published information regarding the demise of our stunning planet earth, as nature lovers, some days are particularly difficult to share a smile.

Almost 1 million species are at risk of extinction, fires have consumed rainforests from Indonesia to Brazil, now Austrailia's bush fires. Not to mention, the large expanses of coral reefs bleaching as we speak, persistent wars across the world that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people yet over-population continues to ascend, social and political unrest and the unforgettable increasing glacial retreat occurring across the world. It has been so difficult for many people and for wildlife.

Lest we forget, as nature lovers, that we must continue to work together, staying true to our own nature - adhering to the so-called hive mind technique. As communities across the world we can make small or big changes, that produce incredible effects. We've seen it, we can do it and we must! The solutions are there, now we must act more than ever.

We must be aware, remediate, reforest, afforest and restore wide expanses of land. Whether it's voluntary or it's our job, we must do it!

So, let's get together and continue to fight the good fight, the fight for life. The only fight ever worth fighting for, without actually fighting.

Now pass us a handful of seeds, because we've got a lot work to do. Bring on positivity and 2020 along with it! ❤️ 🌎

The NFSG team are wishing everyone a very happy and fruitful new year!

Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyl) mother carrying her baby on Ojé trail.

We have been monitoring some of our trails with camera traps, continuing to find fantastic and rare wildlife at The Neotropical Station.
Some lucky people have spotted Giant Anteaters at TNS already (especially in our banana farm), but we finally have a Giant Anteater mother spotted on our camera trap 40m away from TNS's kitchen.
Giant anteaters are one of the most elusive animales in the Amazon rainforest. They are known to escape quickly upon observation, but some locals have reported seeing Giant Anteaters at a distance, stood up on two feet, appearing much larger, even scaring the person considerably.
What beauty!

Oso bandera cargando su cría en la trocha Ojé.

Nos encontramos monitoriando algunas de nuestras trochas con camaras trampas, continuamos encontrando animales raros y fantásticos en nuestra selva lluviosa en La Estación Neotropical.
Algunas personas por suerte vieron al Oso Bandera (Myrmecophaga tridactyl) alrededor de TNS (especialmente en nuestro platanal), pero finalmente tenemos un Oso Bandera mamá grabado en camaras trampas, apenas 40m de la cocina.
Los Osos Banderas son uno de los mas elusivos animales de la selva Amazónica. Ellos están conocidos por evadir muy rápido la vista de las personas, pero algunas personas locales reportan que vieron el oso bandera parado de dos patas, mostrándose mucho mas grande y asustando las personas considerablemente.
Que hermosa!

Have you ever seen a white tayra? Come and find our beautiful and phantom-like tayra in our gardens based along the Tambopata River, in the Amazing South-Eastern Peruvian Amazon rainforest!

This dark brown male tayra was captured using camera traps 45 metres into TNS's Oje Trail and we will be naming him ‘Pohui’. This means coffee colour in the most widely spoken native Tacanan language of the Tambopata province, known as Ese Ejja.

White, black and brown tayras (Eira Barbara) are common diurnal visitors to The Neotropical Station’s gardens, agroforestry farm and rainforest trails.
Despite their sometimes intrepid and tenacious behaviour amongst other species, we absolutely love them! Tayras are mustelids (otter and weasel family), and like most mustelids, their vision is not particularly great, but their sense of smell and hearing is impressive and impeccable.
Tayras, like otters have throat patches and can be identified individually via monitoring these. We will be keeping a keen eye as of 2019 and determine whether the same individuals are returning to TNS.

Interested in visiting The Neotropical Station? Please write to [email protected] and expect a response within 10 days.

Keep watching folks!

¿Has visto alguna vez un manco blanco?

Ven a buscar nuestro manco blanco hermoso con aspecto fantasmal en nuestros jardines en el Rio Tambopata, al Sur-Este de la Amazonia Peruana.

Este manco macho, fue capturado a 45 metros en nuestra trocha Ojé y vamos a llamarlo ‘Pohui’. Este significa el color café en el idioma nativo mas conocido en la provincia de Tambopata, el ese ejja

Mancos blancos, negros y marrones (Eira Barbara) son visitantes comunes en nuestros jardines agroforestales y caminos. Aun que aveces son bien intrepidos y tenazes con otras especies, nosotros absolutamente amamos a ellos! Tayras son musteloides (familia de los lobos de rio), y como la mayoria de musteloides, sus vista no es particularmente bien, pero su sentido del olfato y auditivo es impresionante e impeccable.
Mancos, como los lobos de rio tienen manchas de color blanco en su cuello y por el cual pueden ser indentificados. Nosotros vamos a estar monitoreando bien estas especies para saber si son los mismos individuos regresando a TNS.

Interesados a visitar La Estación Neotropical? Por favour escribe a [email protected] y estaremos respondiendo en un lapso de 10 dias.

Y como esta publicacion estaremos haciendo muchas mas, por la cual agradecemos a ustedes que nos siguen en facebook!

DO YOU WANT TO EMMERSE YOURSELF IN A RAINFOREST PARADISE WHILST RESEARCHING OCELOTS, JAGUARS OR PUMAS?

The Neotropical Station is looking for an eligible researcher to monitor our big cat population.

Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) populations have partially recovered since legislation banned hunting of this species in the 1980's for the fur trade. Fortunately, they are now considered to be the most common feline across the Amazon rainforest (IUCN: Least concern). Despite also being the most studied feline in the Amazon, scarcity of research is still an issue that needs addressing, especially regarding their taxonomy and individual spatial distribution dynamics.
ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) suggests that 10 subspecies exist, however molecular analyses by the IUCN's Cat Specialist group has only detected four distinct groups, leaving the taxonomy of ocelots under review and The Neotropical Station more curious about what subspecies this ocelot could actually be.

The Neotropical Station is looking for a post-graduate ecologist or biologist to study our local ocelot, jaguar and/or puma population. Spotting them should not too be difficult, but it is advised to also use camera traps and hides as they are nocturnal. They have been observed both on our rainforest trails, as well as in our agroforestry farm various times over the course of this year (without looking!), but patience is the only virtue that will bring animal sightings to the viewer. Our friendly staff from TNS will be happy to guide the researcher around our trails during the first 10 days, teaching the researcher interesting techniques regarding living and working in a tropical rainforest (GPS, Flora and Fauna identification, how to bush wack, the lot!), but the researcher will be expected to continue their monitoring on their own behalf as this is not a true internship or course.

To apply, please send a cover letter and CV to
[email protected]
Expect a response within 10 days.
QUICK INFO:
- Costs: Accommodation and food costs (bed night and three delicious and healthy meals a day) = $50 with an experienced guide, $30 without a guide. This is not a paid position, so if money is an issue, we suggest you apply for an appropriate grant to support your accommodation and food costs. Note: Certain additional travel sites will be an extra cost ($10-$70 depending on site location and entry fee).
- 100% assurance of local and international friendly round-the-clock staff at TNS. All staff will be happy to help you at all times (It's a family feeling at TNS)
- Address: Filadelfia, Tambopata, South-Eastern Peruvian Amazon. Flight destination: Puerto Maldonado, Peru.
- Additional travel sites: Chuncho clay lick (The largest macaw clay lick in the world), Local lakes such as Sachavacayec Lake, as well as more pristine areas that are not searchable via google.
- Transport costs include one entry and one exit per month to and from the local town Puerto Maldonado, other travel excluded ($70 per journey)
- Mobile signal available at The Neotropical Station’s river port.

We love the bioremediating water company AYALA Water & Ecology and all the hard work they do. They have continuosly inspired our research and eco-friendly waste removal systems at TNS. We are incredibly excited for our aquatic ecology and toxicology laboratory and confined green house that will hopefully be constructed in 2019-2020. The hardwork goes on.. :)

Amamos la empresa de bioremediacion Ayala water and ecology y todo su trabajo fuerte que lo hacen. Nos inspiren nuestro investigaciones y forma ecológico en TNS. Estamos emocionados para 2019-2020 para nuestra nuevo laboratorio de ecología acuática y toxicologia. El trabajo fuerte sigue.. :)

We love walking along our beautiful beach just before sunset, bird watching and keeping an eye out for big cats like jaguar and puma. Tambopata beaches are never short of tracks by amazing fauna, such as caiman, capybara, jaguar, ocelots, pumas and tapir. And yes, numerous jaguars have been spotted on our beach, as well as on the otherside. What beauty at

Amamos a caminar a nuestra playa hermosa antes que atardecer, mirando aves y viendo bien si hay jaguares y pumas. Nunca falta weillas de animales increíbles en las playas de Tambopata y TNS, como ronsocos, sachavacas, caimanes tigrillos, jaguares y pumas. Y si, varios veces la gente ha visto jaguares y pumas en nuestra playas este año y al otro lado del río.. Qué belleza en

Plant medicine is not just something we teach and explore at TNS, we respect it as a way of life. Most amazonian people (almost 20 million) depend on plants for survival, use them as a preventative method against sickness, whilst integrating them into their diet to make them stronger people. This necessity will be taken away from us if big capitalist companies continue to deforest the Amazon rainforest at the rate they continue to do so. Our co-founder and on-site plant biologist Is available as of 2019 to continue the course: PLANT MEDICINE OF THE AMAZON: HISTORY, CULTURE, PREPARATION & BOTANICAL METHODS FOR IDENTIFICATION. If you are interested in learning of a healthier lifestyle, whilst enjoying a tropical rainforest experience, please write to Natalie at: [email protected]

Plantas medicinales no es solo algo que exploramos en TNS, pero lo respetamos como una forma de vida. La mayormente personas indigenas (casi 20 milion) dependen a las plantas para sobrevivir, para prevenir enfermedades y integrarlos en su dieta para estar personas FUERTES. Las empresas grande y capitalistas estan deforestando demasiado y estamos perdiendo la sabiduria acerca de las plantas y las propias plantas y arboles..

Nuestra confundadora y biologa de plantas esta disponible en 2019 para ofrecer el curso de: MEDICINA NATURAL DE LA SELVA AMAZONICO: HISTORIA, CULTURA, PREPERACION Y PROTOCOLES DE IDENTIFICAR

The dry season is truly over and with open arms we welcome the rains, but also the hard work that comes with managing organic farmland close to an encroaching primary tropical forest. To avoid using herbicides and insecticides, The Neotropical Station is committed to implementing agroforestry and permaculture techniques within the farm and gardens. This is to ensure our produce is organic and sustainable, as well as to ensure that we live harmoniously with the rainforest. Whatever it takes

A Southern tamandua (tamandua tetradactyla) foraging for insects right next to our trail. Despite their majestic nature and threatened status,
research regarding the tamandua is scarce, so little is actually know regarding their diet. What has been confirmed is that they consume termites, army ants and other ants with weak defense signals.. What about fruits and nectar?

PRIMATE RESEARCH UPDATE 2018

After six months of creeping through and around our trails and writing behavioral observations on the out-skirts of the
Tambopata National Reserve, Jessica Cass, a post-graduate primate researcher from has seriously got to know our local
Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri oerstedii) and Brown Capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella).

We are all so thrilled with Jessica's enthusiasm, profesionalism and humilty during her research period that we are very sad to see her leave now,
but we are very excited to learn from her research. Jessica's investigation will confirm the dry season foraging and resting territories of the squirrel
monkeys around The Neotropical station using geospatial analyses.
A diary entry by Jessica Cass will be posted on our new website very soon outlining her experience at The Neotropical Station
conducting Primate Research.

Here are some photos of a few wildlife highlights from Jess's jungle experience.

Despues de seis meses caminando sigilosamente al rededor de nuestras trochas cerca a la Reserva Nacional Tambopata. Jessica Cass, una investigadora de
Post grada esta datando todo con respecto al comportamiento, territorio y desplacamiento de nuestras dos especies de primates mas comunes en nuestra area. Las
wasitas (Saimiri oerstedii) y los monos negros (Cebus apella).

Con estos datos recollectados, Jessica Cass estara creando un conjunto de mapas en las cuales estos explicaran donde exactamente son los territorios en las cuales estos
dos especies se posan para alimentarse y descansar.
Estamos impresionados con el entusiasmo, profesionalismo y humildad que presenta Jessica durante el tiempo de su investigacion en La Estacion Neotropical. Estamos emocionados
a ver los resultados del trabajo de Jessica que estara compartiendo o publicando pronto en nuestra pagina de TNS. Por el momento, les presentaremos algunas fotos y videos relacionados
a su trabajo. Disfruta!
