Demarcation Diaries
23 September 2001
Steve (Team B) : The decaying leaves are soft and cold under my feet. I am walking barefoot
through the jungle, something I wouldn't have dreamt of doing two weeks
ago. more
Janine (Team A) : Our second camp is close to point 26. It will be great to save the
Deni a 2 hour walk to work but unfortunately it is an hour away from the
nearest water. more
Paula, Samuel and Petros (Cuniua Team) : The helicopter has finally arrived. We got our fridge, potatos and our demarcation
plates, so we can continue with the job.

Note: Volunteers and the Deni work in three different teams. Team C (Cuniuã Team) works by boat following the Coxodoã, Cuniuã and Canaçã rivers, the natural boundary of the Deni territory along the eastern perimeter. Teams A and B started at the north west tip, working away from each other, assisting the Deni in cutting a 1.5 meter path through the jungle and erecting signs identifying the Deni territory.
