"At Los Amigos Conservation Concession, a 360,000-acre tract of wilderness, [the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation] has helped create one of the world's pre-eminent tropical research stations. Wildlife biologists and other scientists from the United States, Peru and elsewhere carry out elaborate research studies, aided by expensive infrastructure such as a wireless Internet network over the jungle to allow remote data collection and transmission." -San Francisco Chronicle, 19 November 2006
