It has been a lot of work on SEE-U, which is now on its last week! In all these activities I had to go to Belo Horizonte to presents my master’s research design to a committee on the University. Definitely a long day! Waked up at 3:30 a.m. to get a ride from IPÊ’s headquarters at Nazaré Paulista (where I am because of SEE-U) to São Paulo. Then a bus to the airport. A one hour flight to Belo Horizonte, more one hour and a half hour in a bus, a taxi ride and I – or what remains of me – finally arrived at University at 10:30 a.m. I just walk directly to the presentation room and when opened the door get surprised by the amount of people in there. I was not expecting so many people. All the students from my class was presenting their projects and I arrived just half hour before my turn… A mix of anxiety and nervous in the minutes before and here go…

And the conceptual model of the project…

Obrigado! Of course Wildlife Direct was in there representing all you that help to support our work donating through this blog! Thank you all!

I presented my questions and hypothesis, the design of the research with ocelots and some preliminary results. Questions? Two comments. OK! After lunch, two hours of conversation with my advisor, a local bus to the bus station, more one and a half hour to the airport, a nocturnal flight to São Paulo with beautiful view of city lights from sky – finally I get a window! Another bus a ride to Nazaré and what remain of me – and I can say that was not too much – arrive back at 22:00 p.m. Another day!

I just sent more eleven film rolls from Ponte Branca to process. Cross your fingers to good pictures!

See you on Wednesday!
