Tapping the Wealth in Jungle Treetops    (View PDF)

Donald R. Perry

Abstract: A third-generation system of access to the tops of jungle trees is scheduled for construction in early 1986 within a pre-montane wet forest of Costa Rica's Caribbean slope. Known as the Automated Web for Canopy Exploration, the system will be a radio controlled "chair lift" suspended above a shallow valley by a sophisticated network of stainless-steel cables. A researcher will be able to travel throughout ten acres of forest—from ground level to above the treetops.
