Western Amazon Tree Images from Finding Species

Finding Species has worked with scientists to photograph the trees of Ecuador's Yasuni National Park, located in the Western Amazon. These images concentrate on identifiable characteristics of each species, such as the shape of the whole tree, leaf structure, bark, and fruit.
