Resumen: Chonta palm (Astrocaryum gratum)is found in sub-montane neotropical forests, and its basic biology has been little studied. The phenology of Astrocaryum gratum was observed during 25 months in Madidi National Park and Pilón Lajas Biosphere Reserve and Indigenous Territory (Bolivia). The effect of light availability on seed germination of Chonta was also evaluated. The percentage of emerging seeds regardless of whether they were in the shade or sun was not significant; however, buried seeds germinate in higher proportion than ones left uncovered. Astrocaryum gratum plays an important role as a food resource for wildlife, affecting its distribution and movement, and therefore must be considered when designing wildlife management plans
