Yasuní National Park is located in the Napo Province of southeastern Ecuador. Situated in one of the world's greatest biodiversity hotspots, the Napo rainforest boasts species richness that is without equal. However, the reserve lies over a massive oil field, and is presently threatened by oil extraction.

During ten days of rainforest exploration within the vicinity of Yasuní Research Station, I observed thousands of insect species as well as countless plants and vertebrates. These galleries present a portion of the organisms encountered.
