Francisco says..."As I lived in the Amazon for about four years, I had a chance to visit most of the more typical habitats in the region, and the result is that we can discuss the different main ecosystems, their particularities, and orchid species typical of each of them. This presentation is not limited to a particular group of orchids, and in fact the idea is to show the more different types of orchids as possible, thus giving a general idea of what we can expect to see in the region."
