		The steep slopes of the target Madre de Dios headwaters and the region's lack of commercial fishermen have made this effort difficult.
		Therefore, assuming that migratory catfish in the Madre de Dios Basin spawn at the same approximate altitudes as populations in the Ucayali Basin, we will apply the extensive local natural history knowledge of commercial fishermen in the Ucayali to help establish spawning altitudes in the Andes.
		As the aguajales in the Madre de Dios region appear to be filled mostly by rainforest stream water, their waters are usually acidic and ecologically strikingly different than the alkaline and turbid main river.

	CAP Río Purús Report: Section 2
		There is no evidence that the Mashco of the Purús region are related to the so-called 'Mashco' peoples of the Alto Madre de Dios region, such as the Amarakaeri and Toyoeri, who are Harakmbet-language speakers.
		Of course, if Mashco activity in that region is restricted to August and September, activity for the 1998 dry season would not yet have begun, and the Pioneer Mission expedition would not yet expect to find signs of Mashco activity for the 1998 dry season in the Dos Bocas area.
		No sign was seen of the Deños on the D for the remainder of the dry season of 1996 nor in 1997, but signs of activity have returned to the region upriver of Puerto Rey during this past dry season, that of 1998, and the residents of Puerto Rey are apparently alarmed by this.

		The region's two principal protected areas, the Manu Biosphere Reserve (Parque Nacional Manu) and the Tambopata-Candamo Nature Reserve (Zona Reservada Tambopata-Candamo), are both excellent for jungle expeditions, although they differ in terms of remoteness and facilities.
