In Mid July last year the colla's battery died and it opened automatically.

''After we got all GPS datas, we'll make a mapping of his route, type of habitat, distance from the river, movements and urban areas'' said the researcher Ana Cristina de Oliveira.

''We need to know if they stay only in the forest or if they're approaching farms where they look for resources. As they're surviving on an area where the landscape is changing very fast. We don't know when this landscape will collapse and to know this dynamic is fundamental to know what to do to preserve these populations'' she explained.
