So, you know, the deforestation thing is a massive controversy, as you can imagine.

It's being investigated now.

Scientists told me the major thing they were already worried because a massive, massive slope.

This is the bottom forest and it's a slope.

It's a mountain slope that came down.

You see the whole thing.

The figures that I'm seeing, they're using satellite images of around 7000 hectares.

It's massive.

So the entire thing coming down, and that is why there were fears that what happened.

Although some locals were telling me, no, there are animals, they have this, you know, sense that they can just go away.

But primate experts were telling me, no, it's not like that.

When I asked them, why couldn't they go away?

Because locals were saying they have this instinct.

So primate experts were telling me, no, they actually use the branches and twigs as umbrella and wait for the rains to stop.

That's what they do.

But in this case, the rains didn't stop.

Landslides came instead.

And now this carcass in particular has given them a reason to be worried.

So he says the appropriate number is perhaps 150. That will keep them within the forest and there'll be no conflicts with humans.
