Nouragues ecological research stations

The Nouragues Ecological Research Station is a scientific station managed by Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. It is located at the heart of a tropical rain forest, in the Nouragues Natural Reserve, French Guiana. It is a privileged equipment for the study of the functioning of tropical forests and their biodiversity. The Nouragues station is organized around two permanent camps (Inselberg camp and Pararé camp), 8 km away from each other. These two sites are equipped to welcome scientists from a few days to several months.

Statement

Following upon the creation of a temporary research camp of the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN), on the Arataie River between 1978 and 1985, the Nouragues Station (today referred to as Inselberg Camp) was created in 1986 based upon a 2-yr scientific project funded by the French Environment Ministry, additional funds from CNRS and MNHN, and support from IRD.


Permanent constructions at the site were completed in 1989, and the station has built upon the research activities of the ecology lab of Brunoy, near Paris (MNHN/CNRS), with funds from various CNRS programs (Programme Environnement Vie et Sociétés of CNRS and Département des Sciences de la Vie of CNRS until 2002). In 1997, The Nouragues Research Station has acquired the status of Unité Propre de Service of the CNRS, until 2002.


In 1995, the Nouragues area has been created as a Natural Reserve (creation n° 95-1299 18 december 1995). With over 1000 km2 of protected pristine rainforest, the Nouragues Reserve has long remained the largest Natural Reserve in France.


Today, the research area managed by CNRS within the Nouragues Natural Reserve is a 8 x 10 km area, devoted to scientific research. By decree, this area is under sole the responsability of CNRS.


Since 2003, the Nouragues Ecological Research Station is managed operationally by the Unité de Service et de Recherche CNRS-Guyane of the Institut Ecologie and Environnement (InEE) at CNRS.


The Nouragues Ecological Research Station is a service of AnaEE-France Infrastructure.
