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

From 120 traps baited for 3 consecutive nights
we caught only 1 individual of Didelphis
aurita, which was released. Traps were

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.
