Boracay's Batcave Disappears
Personal memory by SMaya PLin
1990 • Boracay, Malay, Philippines
Bats from the famed batcave of Boracay used to fly in droves at sunset, seeking insects and fruit for their sustenance. The Ecovillage project in the new millenium cemented the cave's entrance, greatly diminishing the flying foxes' access and survival.
