In the North of the Ecuadorian Amazonia, the National Park Yasuni is considered by some scientists as the site the most diversified on earth. Its station of research, managed by the catholic University of Quito, is the point of experts meeting of the whole world. Since 1995, to better understand the dynamics of tropical forests and their role in the carbon cycle on a global scale, the team of Dr. Renato Valencia, Ecuadorean botanist, lead a broad plant survey.
