Cave-dwelling bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) and conservation concerns in South central Mindanao, Philippines
TLDR
The stable microclimate in caves provides a relatively constant habitat for many bat species in the Philippines, but human encroachment continues to disrupt this habitat and imperil many of the species roosting in the caves, suggesting the need for an urgent and effective conservation intervention involving the local government and public community.
