The expedition highlights the rich biodiversity of the Alto Mayo region, which is under threat from human activities.
The discovery of 27 new species, including an amphibian mouse and a strange-headed fish, underscores the importance of conducting biological assessments in areas with significant human influence.
Collaboration with local indigenous communities, such as the Awajún, is crucial for effective conservation strategies and understanding local ecosystems.
Increased awareness and documentation of biodiversity in the Alto Mayo region may lead to stronger conservation measures.
The findings could prompt further scientific research and expeditions in similarly threatened areas worldwide.
The establishment of a conservation corridor may enhance the protection of endangered species and their habitats.
