We find hardly any animals in the daytime at the Operations Support Facility (OSF) of ALMA which extends over the area of about 1 km2 in the midst of deserts at 2900 m asl.

He was scared stiff with a flare of flashlight. ALMA is being constructed in consideration of the surrounding environment to protect the habitat of these little neighbors.
