Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest

Protection: national/state park

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: hunting,selective logging

MAT: 24.0

MAP: 3450.0

Habitat comments: "The average annual rainfall of the CNP ranges from 2400 mm to 4500 mm"
"The site is covered with tropical lowland rainforest and pre-montane forests and is located between the steep slopes of the Cóndor Mountains and the Santiago River"
"As of 2016, 86% of the study area was categorized as “intact forest landscape”. There is no history of commercial logging or agriculture inside CNP"
"However, the study area is categorized as a ‘Recovery Zone’ due to historical damage from selective logging, hunting, and three regional conflicts waged between Peru and Ecuador in the 20th century"
