About ten Brasilian scientists will join the expedition. The Museo Goeldi of Belem, venerable and prestigious Brasilian institution, equivalent to our Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle of Paris, will delegate specialists in botany, entomology, herpetology, ornithology, geography.

This mission will largely use satellite pictures : the GIS (Global Information System) will allow the running of the scientific informations about the topography, the fauna, the flora, the frequenting of the place by the various species… To succeed in this mission and to give a logistic support to the teams of ecoguides and of scientists working for the study and the conservation of this region, Ecoguide has undertaken the construction of a base-boat : the Neblina.

Essential to move on the Amazon, sail back up the Rio Negro and its affluents, the Neblina, fitted out with a laboratory, will also be able to carry material and to accomodate people. It will also be possible to use it as a medical unit for the local population.
