Barro Colorado Island

Barro Colorado Island has been a tropical research center since the early 1900s. In the 1990s, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) opened the island to escorted tours. For more information on the scientists of Barro Colorado and their research, read The Tapir's Morning Bath: Solving the Mysteries of the Tropical Rain Forest, by Elizabeth Royte.
