National Park Bawah-Sonene located in the South-Eastern Amazonian Peru, created in 1996 to protect one of the few regions whose territory remains untouched by the intense life of modern human society. It includes areas where there was a very high level of biological diversity of fauna and flora in some places recorded.

The Park protects a large number of species of plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, insects and fish, including many rare species that are under threat of extinction. Many of the species found within the Park are endemic to Peru, among them two species of parrots and at least 28 new registered species of butterflies.

In these forests you can see marsh deer, maned wolf, a unique species of eagle is the South American harpy eagle, giant anteaters, anacondas, giant Armadillo, giant river otter, black Caiman, spectacled bear, Jaguar, and several species of monkeys. In 1992 ichthyological research group found 93 species in six different waterbodies in the lower part of the valley Park Bawah-Sonene.

The task of the Park is the protection and preservation of the greater number of species of the local fauna and flora, as in the lower part of the valley of the Amazon, and on individual seamounts tropical foothills. The Park also protects a number of areas which grow wild varieties of pineapple and guava.

In 2012, during a research expedition in the Park, which was attended by 15 researchers of the Society for the protection of wildlife, it was revealed 13 species of birds, previously unregistered, including black-and-white hawk-eagle, tricolor Wilson's Phalarope and ashy cuckoo, two species of bat - eared bat Nikiforova and tri-colored bat, and 233 species of butterflies and moths.

Despite the support of the Society for the protection of wildlife, the national Park Bawah-Sonene remains vulnerable due to various threats. Today the most pressing problems are the illegal gold mining and deforestation, over-extraction of natural resources such as game, fish, fruits and palm leaves, as well as the paving of the road Cusco - Puerto Maldonado.
