| The sale of the paiche is limited. Progress in its conservation pleases the fishermen, because it was in the brink of total disappearance in the Dorado. |

I visited El Dorado in September. This is a compelling story and while the accommodations there are modest, it is worth visiting and supporting the wonderful, kind people of Manco Cápac, who are doing vital work. The Amazon rainforest is a vast commons with little or no government presence in the backcountry. Therefore, efforts like these are vital to sustaining the ecosystem in a way that will provide for the people living there without decimating its plants and animals.# Iván Loyola says :
I visited the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve after traveling from Nauta on the El Delfin, a wonderful river boat with 7 air conditioned cabins.
Awesome article. My business partner and I are proud to have the only lake re-stocked with paiche of different size classes and are even able to offer this amazing fish on a catch and release approach to our customers in a lodge close to Iquitos. Fishing of natural occurring paiche will only further its vulnerability. Management, farming and re-stocking protected bodies of water is one way to alleviate the paiche´s predicament.# Ivan Loyola says :
Correction. Should have written "my client" instead of "business partner". Excuse the confusion.# John Baldwin says :
I am inyerested in paiche and all that is related.# bla says :
# ivan loyola says :yow that is cool
incredible fish. been working in the bering sea for years and never seen anything like the paiche. closest would be the sturgeon, but paiche is way livelier and active. my friend and partner practices catch and realease. no other way can b e viable for the paiche today.# ralph gomes says :
