Shade may be provided initially by banana trees. Older cacao doesn't need as much shade.

[[circled]] 2 [[/circled]] [[underlined]] Rubber [[/underlined]] - clearcutting done for rubber. Seems to be increasing in frequency compared to cacao, wh/ has been around for hundreds of years.

Land planted in cacao not considered mata by IBDF, thus owners still need to maintain 20% land in mata.

Fire no problem except on edges of reserve.

Both cacao & rubber plantations use insecticides; especially cacao which altho looking like forest is in poor shape because micro fauna is destroyed.

GHT apparently coexists w/ cacao.

GHTs - Are seen regularly by guards in groups ^[[sometimes]] larger than 10.

Saturnino indicates that group size averages 8 (seen groups of 11, 12, 2). GHTs often seen crossing roads and in scrubby-looking 2nd growth - more than "climax" forest.

Saturnino has had several confiscated and released into the Reserve. [We later see a "wild" [[underlined]] chrysomelas [[/underlined]] approach the viveiro w/ the captive : likely to be released animals.

Reserve also has 3 other primates: [[underlined]] Cebus apella xanthosternis [[/strikethrough]][seen at CPRJ
[[underlined]] Callithrix kuhlii [[/underlined]] :
[[underlined]] Callicebus personatus [[/underlined]] :
(according to [[strikethrough]] Reserve [[/strikethrough]] Rylands: Reserve Director only mentions 2 species)

Also 2 canids, agouti, paca are common. They have deer peccary and more birds than are normally seen at PdA. Also moved sloth & two (2) other sloth species*

Saturnino has no idea how many animals in the Reserve. Still

*Saturnino not very knowledgeable @ plants & animals in reserve.
