Projeto Flora

I posted this link on the Dicot x Palm thread.  But, I figured it might be intersting to post for general information.  The Projeto Flora is about the Ducke Forest Reserve which borders on Manaus.  I have the field guide from this project with is an excellent work.  There is a very good section of local palms of this area.  One nice thing about this link is that it breaks down well the various ecological zones within the forest here from Plateau to Lowland.  The area is 100 km2 and has stopped the expansion of the city in it's direction, which is a good thing.  The project is part of INPA, Institute for Amazonian Studies here in Manaus. The link is for the English version of the site.
