The agreement expired a year ago and since the original owner died and farm is being split into its many heirs it is not known if it will ever be renovated. Geographic position of the farm is from 21°20' to 21°27'S and from 47°18' to 47°14' W. It goes from 600 to 900 m in altitude. The rivers Cubatão and Pardo transverse the farm. Vegetation is semi-deciduous, tropical forest. The farm belongs to the family Sampaio-Moreira. We arrived on the 3rd of November and left on the 7th. Traps were set up in the fourth plot named Taiba, w/ approximately 100 ha in area. and going along the river. From 120 traps baited for 3 consecutive nights we caught only 1 individual of Didelphis aurita, which was released. Traps were messed with, very probably by Cebus monkey, which we could observe in the forest. Toni and Rachel met a rattle snake on the trail, it was sleeping and didn't seem to be bothered by them.
