+ add your ownthanks for this article, bats are very interesting
They Were Put Here On Earth For A Reason. I Swear, We Are Our Own Worst Enemy.
Aha! I knew there was some imbalance happening here, and Lloyd H pointed it out; we can't really be surprised - loss of habitat!
Humans need to leave nature alone and let nature take care of nature. Humans think they know what is best but the fact is they don't. They try and solve one problem and usually create many more.....stop playing God & leave nature alone.
If I remember correctly, many people EAT the fruit bats... Maybe this is just a reason to kill more! But I'm glad their numbers on on the rise. That's a good thing!
great news,thanks.

The bats in this story are fruit bats- they are not insectivores. (that being said, many varieties of bats ARE insect eaters and are critically important in pest control).
Yes I would be concerned for these bats, next thing you know they will be killing them off. Rather than let nature look after it's own humans always think they know best.
Conservationists are concerned. So now what, kill them off. I hope not. There is a reason they are there. Much more studying must be done to understand why.
These are such interesting animals...
