Abstract

Two weeks earlier, when I originally was notified about the case, the price was $ 1,000. I had no idea tapirs were in such high demand when I first spoke with the middleman. We first talked when I was verifying if this whole “sale” was true. It wasn’t hard to get his personal information since the man had posted his name address and cell phone number on the Internet. In the short conversation he informed me that the tapir was in a distant location and needed to be transported down the Chucunaque River. He said he first needed to contact his brother in law in Darién in order to see which day he could obtain a boat to travel down river. He would keep me posted.
