Expeditions: Central Ecuador 2021-2023
Ecuador is about the size of the UK. It is home to more butterfly species than Africa. This is the third field report in the Ecuador saga. It covers the valley of Rio Pastaza in the provinces of Pastaza and Tungurahua. The valley is a deep cleft in the Andean ridge and serves as a natural boundary to many species and subspecies. A number of species at moderate elevation are endemic here.
The full report is also available in three PDF volumes:
