<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><big>I apologize for my very late
response to this post. It took me a bit to research this and I'd
like to share what I found. I talked to Eneida Montesinos and
she gave me her permission to share this information:<br>

all colonies are monitored, even if they are outside of the
MBBR. In fact several belongs to a different natural
protected areas or are in private lands, but no matter...</span>I
started to have news about local people until finally in 2003
they took me there and saw the colony for the first time. One
of my colleagues and good friend is in charge of regulate the
access to the colony. It is in a private land. Many people
have been trying to promote this area, but locals have been
protecting the colony and limit the tourist access. Yes the
colony is very small, and sometimes the colony does not form
here or stay just for November and December only. Yesterday I
talked to my colleague to ask him about the colony, he said
that the colony is very small, just few trees and this year
move 1 km away from where normally forms. We believe that
because this colony is ephemeral, the access of tourist
should be limited.</span>"<br>

I also communicated with Bill Calvert who visited this site
earlier:<br>
"The Popo site was transient in those days."<br>
<br>
Just wanted to add this information so everyone is aware this
was not a new site and there may be a good reason the area is
not openly publicized.<br>
