El 10% de las especies del planeta se encuentran en una reserva natural de Ecuador
A 270 kilómetros de Quito, en lo más profundo de la Amazonía ecuatoriana, el Parque Nacional Yasuní
A 270 kilómetros de Quito, en lo más profundo de la Amazonía ecuatoriana, el Parque Nacional Yasuní da refugio a una de las mayores reservas de especies de todo el planeta, una parte de cuya biodiversidad sale a la luz en un nuevo libro fruto de dos décadas de investigaciones
Ubicada en la región oriental del país, con severas restricciones de acceso para proteger este exclusivo entorno, el Yasuní es hogar de un millón de especies, según los expertos.
El 80 por ciento de las especies del Parque todavía no tienen ni nombre científico (...) y aún hay mucho por hacer",aseguró a Efe Kelly Swing, director de la Estación de Biodiversidad Tiputini (EBT), que comenzó sus trabajos a mediados de los noventa.

But this discovery is on another way. It is not a forest sown recently. It is an old forest, which was there for thousands of years, buried under the ice. And now, with the thaw caused by global warming, he has emerged again.
