In Search of Salim Ali's Fruit Bat-Western Ghats On The Edge-Episode 07

Salim Ali’s Fruit Bat is one of the three rarest bats in the world! Native to the Western Ghats, it’s an invaluable pollinator, ensuring the ecosystem it is a part of continues to thrive. 🌱 But with barely 1,000 individuals left, this bat is in danger of being wiped out.
Filmmaker Sara and conservationist Rajesh Puttaswamaiah set out to film the rare Salim Ali's Fruit Bat for the first time. The footage obtained reveals these otherworldly creatures in astonishing detail-eyes wide open as they hang upside down in their natural habitat. 🎥👀
The film is a part of a documentary miniseries about the Western Ghats, produced in collaboration with the team at ‪@OntheEdge_org‬

Wonderful... I pray that humans leaves these Bats habitats untampered...
Its painful to see that in Mahabaleshwar there is one huge cave called Rober’s cave ; which is being disturbed for religious purposes also the mouth of the cave has been cleared by blasting big stones ; front has been made level ; more light is entering into cave ...by name of God we want to displace these Godly beings ... why ?
Good to see these rare fruit bats in nature . Thank you for this wonderful film.
