The first inspection expedition in 2024 took place in January. The big expectation was the deployment of the Oxe wifi Hunter photo traps in the Pittier sector, where we went first and where we visited for the first time the Cerro Pittier mountain, which is 2856 m.a.s.l. We had a night in a tent in the wilderness and a new terrain where we went to deploy 9 photo traps.
There was also an inspection of four small photo traps Bunaty and Predator, which are placed on poachers and illegal entrances to the park. After a day's rest, a three-day monitoring trip to the well-known and much-loved but challenging Valeo Silencio was ahead of us. Two months later we returned to La Amistad NP and on checking the photo traps we had a black panther right at the start and another one a few kilometres further on. Amazing! However, we also caught a second poaching group on the photo traps after a year and passed the data to the rangers.
The winter monitoring of the Eye of the Jaguar has been completed and the next check of the photo traps awaits us in July 2024, when we are preparing a large antipoaching event in cooperation with the rangers.
