The ACP Panguana is also the ideal place to unleash the imagination of children who interact closely with their jungle.

You might think that we installed disco lighting in Panguana to celebrate the station's 50th anniversary, but not that's not the case (though it's not a bad idea ....). The colored lights under the treetops belong to a trap that attracts nocturnal insects, especially beetles and moths. In Panguana, nocturnal insect samples are taken regularly to learn more about the diversity and temporal distribution of insects.

A new species of the genus Prosopanche was first collected in the private conservation area Panguana and is known only in four places in the central rainforest of Peru. Most observations on the ecology of this plant have been made in our protected forests.

Panguana celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2018. Panguana's neighbors and authority representatives were invited to celebrate together.

Leaf senescence is the genetically programmed process in which the plant nutrients are degraded and redistributed from old or useless leaves. These nutrients are stored in other organs or reused in the formation of new leaves that have a higher productivity in photosynthetic activity. The mined leaves fall down and are degraded by soil micro-organisms so far that the plant can recycle this waste as a nutrient. In this way, the plants give us a clear example of optimal reuse and recycling of resources. Let us learn from them!
