Manu is one of the
most important tropical parks in the world, and was declared a “ World Biosphere Reserve” by UNESCO in 1977. It is home to a many different
ecological zones that descend from 4,000m/13,120ft to 300m/984ft. The Manu
harbours unique wildlife, records of over one thousand species of birds, 200
species of mammals, many reptiles and 10% of all the plants of our planet. Due
to important differences in altitude, Manu covers several types of ecosystems,
which enormously increases the biological diversity and the ecological floors.
The most southerly point of the Park, Acjanaco, lies at 3500m above sea level
and is described as Tropical Alpine Grassland. It has short, scrubby vegetation and the weather is often
cold. Lower down is the Midget Forest,
with short trees, cold humid air and very diverse fauna. One species of altitude Toucan can be seen
here!
Further down, between 1000m and 2500m a.s.l. The
area called the Cloud Forest is a unique ecosystem that receives a lot of rain
and that hosts a large number of endemic species such as the spectacled bear
and the Cock-of-the-Rock (the national bird of Peru). Lower again is the High Forest,
which is between Cloud Forest and the Amazon basin, a diverse landscape that is
rich in fauna. This is also where many different indigenous ethnic tribes have
settled. Finally is the low Amazon basin at about 350m a.s.l. where no other
park on earth can compare to Manu in terms of life forms. There are 13 species
of monkeys and one of the world’s most unusual mammals: the Giant Otter.
