Special systems of ropes and cables
Biologist-turned-entrepreneur Donald Perry has made it possible for tourists, students and scientists alike to explore the wonderland that flourishes on the equivalent of the "15th floor" of the tropical rain forest.
"Uncontrolled nature tourism can best be called eco-destruction.”
By designing and developing various research vehicles over the years, Perry has overcome the problem of studying the flora and fauna of these complex canopy communities and opened one of the earth’s last unknown regions to observation.
Latest Update
