In April 2024, we visited the Alto da Figueira Reserve (formerly Bacchus Reserve) to sample butterflies for the PHMA project and keep our collaboration with the ARAÇÁ Project to make an inventory of the butterfly biodiversity protected by the conservation unit.

 

Alto da Figueira Reserve is a new protected area in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil as part of the ARAÇÁ Project set up by Alexandre and Anna Antonelli.
