* Excerpts from 1993 court bailiff report concerning
measurements at Flor y Fauna plantations; produced as evidence
in court by Flor y Fauna in December 1993 and in December
1996:

Upon request of ... OHRA ... and Flor y Fauna have I, ...,
court bailiff ... traveled to and subsequently have been in
Costa Rica.

On 23 November 1993 the plantations of ... Teakwood 1, 3, 4, 5
and 6 were visited.

The planting in Teakwood 6 was executed on 19 May and 12 June
1993.

By me, bailiff, it was established that some workers were busy
weeding while others were busy supporting trees to avoid askew
growth. According to local information this was needed for
around 40,000 trees and this because of an incidental very
strong wind.

Subsequently a tour was made on horseback through Teakwood 5.
