On 3 October Kasper remained around the Bayan Dutsin Forest Reserve. We didn’t receive any good locations from him during the last transmission cycle earlier today – the charge on his tag was very low. It has not been charging well for a while, possibly because Kasper has been spending his time under the canopy of the forest reserve.
