It harbors large expanses of wetlands and peatland forests, white-sand forests, and hyperdiverse upland forests, and these are drained by a variety of black, white, and clearwater streams. Located within the global epicenter of amphibian, mammal, and bird diversity, and highlighted by recent maps as possessing the largest aboveground carbon stocks in Peru, the region has maintained continuous forest and a high conservation value despite a long history of unregulated logging, hunting, and fishing. The region has long been a conservation priority of the national and regional governments, and the high plant and animal diversity we recorded during the inventory make it clear that it deserves the designation.
We recorded 962 plant species and 741 vertebrate species during the inventory. Dozens of the species we recorded are distributed patchily in Amazonian Peru because they specialize on ‘islands’ of poor-soil vegetation. Based on our fieldwork and on maps of diversity in these groups, we estimate that the total number of vascular plant and vertebrate species in the Tapiche-Blanco region is 3,878–4,478.
