Testimonials

“I was at Cocha Cashu in 1989 or 1990 with a team working on a manakin project.   I would have to consider it one of the best experiences of my career in biology. Cocha Cashu was a paradise. The bird and animal life was spectacular, and I loved the time spent on the lake and river especially when the otters were around, and swimming in the same waters as the caiman. It was a great opportunity to work with Peruvian students. Visiting with the local natives was another highlight. Because many other scientists were there doing other projects, there was a good opportunity to participate in other activities - bat mistnetting, botany projects, etc. I would encourage anyone who has the chance to take the opportunity to spend some time there.”

"Cocha Cashu gave me my first plunge into the Amazon, and it is here that I learned how nature should be, what it is like to expect to see multiple mammal species every day, and how real communities can in fact be explainable by theory, as long as one is working in an ecology that is largely in equilibrium, as Manu's is. This is what I hold onto as I start work now in China:  the intuition and learning about nature that only a place like Cashu can provide."
