According to Bennett Hennessey of Asociación ArmonÃa in Bolivia, the Beni Savannas have been seriously understudied. “Much of the data we have is based on assumptions made by people looking at the area from far away. The Beni savannas are often lumped with the Argentinian savannas – as they share many of the same grassland birds. But the Beni region is quite distinct, not being connected to the Argentina savannas, and Beni being a tropical savanna, not temporate savanna as in Argentina.”
