Why are the fruit bats important to Boracay and its neighbouring areas?

Fruit bats, regenerate the forest of Boracay and the Northwest Panay Peninsula by feeding and excreting seeds of more than 300 species of plants. Trees like Talisay, Molave, Balete, are planted by them, as well as the pollination of Bananas, Papaya, Guava and Durian. Boracays’ water source comes from the forest in the mainland, which the flying foxes reforest. If the Flying foxes disappear the forests of Boracay and the protected area of Northwest Panay will slowly go as well.
The forests of Puka shell beach, Ilgilgan in BRGY Yapak are the roosting grounds- the bedroom of our Bats. Puka shell beach is a stunning beauty and home to various inhabitants - sea turtles, monkeys, lizards, birds, snakes and fruit bats, just to mention a few. The forest ridges and hills of Puka shell beach and iligi-ligan beach in Brgy. Yapak are the roosting grounds where the bats sleep, rest, mate and deliver their babies, thus they need to be protected and left undisturbed. In preserving the forest ridges of Yapak, we protect the well-being of our eco-system and make it possible for future generations to see what Boracay was and is all about

Beachgoers were advised against touching the jellyfish even if it is not in the water since its stingers remain active.
