I get somewhat annoyed with his presence since it seems he has no business being around & he just takes up time - although he personally is sensitive to such things, other people who show up need not be. He was recommended by Mittermeier to call Coimbra, Dionisio, & to come to PdA thru Dionisio. He apparently works part-time for WWF but makes his living in Nepal by taking tour groups around. Says he studied primates at the Primate Center- Univ. of Hawaii. I assume that he has only a semi-real connection [[end page]] [[start page]] to both conservation & primatology, & am annoyed that he just walks in - altho it is not his fault. It is Mittermeier's. But also Jim's since Jim & Lou Ann essentially open their doors to anyone who shows up. Since I've been here we have had staying Ben & Beate in their tent Rosa- Carlos Laurenz Beth Dionisio & 3 film crew David Rann 2 IBDF people from Belo Horizonte Then 2 other specialists show up on Friday & tent out near chicken coop.
