After some more bureaucracy, we decided that it might make things worse with Instituto Florestal to collect there under somebody else's project. We came to Praia do Félix, one of the last one, north in Município de Ubatuba. My parents have [illegible] some land here and I know some people around. We set up 40 traps (1/2 Tomahawn, 1/2 Sherman) all of them on the ground. We used same bait as before banana, manioc, and peanut butter. Today
