has periodic problem of confiscated animals, but frequency of animals being available for confiscation is declining. Saturnino knew of few animals at the time.

Previous individuals have mostly been released and S. doesn't want either to continue releasing animals or to turn into a holding facility. He doesn't have logistical support necessary.

Renato ^[[Léal]] had previously recommended that CEPLAC (cacao growers) support building a holding & breeding facility for animals to be reintroduced. CEPLAC apparently agreed to land & construction but not salaries for vets & keepers. Project proposal died.

The GHTs in Reserve have occasionally brought in wild groups thru long calling.

S. recently had 5 GHLTs in tiny (!) cage which attracted larger group.

Walked thru Una beginning @ 0730 - Continued thru about 1500 hrs. Estimate that we walked about 10-12 mi. I took all my photog. equipment with me wh/ eventually caused real grief since we were walking up & down hills and had to cross rivers/streams on logs 3 times.

We all observe group of Cebus apella xanthosternis which Beck identifies & gets good look at.

Saturnino keeps saying that he thinks it unlikely that the forest had been cut in the past due to lack of a decent road system. Jim finds several [[strikethrough]] cut [[/strikethrough]] trunks which must have been cut.

As we move thru Reserve forest type changes with better-looking larger dbh trees.

Also forest looks
