FunTranscript
00:00In two different places in Negros, up-close and personal, animals can meet.
00:12I don't have anything to eat.
00:14The Kabugo flying fox is just lying under a tree.
00:20Here, we can see flying foxes.
00:24While the monkeys are being fed at the same time.
00:31But because of this interaction,
00:34it can be said that humans and animals can live in danger.
00:46In Santa Catalina, in Negros Oriental,
00:50a group of monkeys are slowly coming out.
00:56They are waiting for their friends.
01:01It's time for their breakfast.
01:06When they see the banana tree,
01:09they are getting closer.
01:16They are each other in picking bananas.
01:22There is also a bonus mango.
01:25There is also a bonus mango.
01:30Some of them don't want to share food.
01:37But some are sharing with the smaller monkeys.
01:45On the other side,
01:48a group of monkeys is feeding.
01:55They are not fighting with each other.
02:02In this sanctuary,
02:04the boundaries of the two groups are respected.
02:12Even though they can't share their breakfast,
02:15a visitor will come to greet them.
02:18One of the monkeys' mother is staring at them.
02:24It's not just one,
02:27but two of her offspring.
02:32She needs to gather strength to carry her two children at the same time.
02:41That's why she needs to get a banana right away.
02:45But while waiting,
02:47it looks like others are getting tired.
02:52Someone is playing.
02:57Someone is feeding his child.
03:04Someone is also eating.
03:07It's like when you're here,
03:09you're not alone.
03:11You're not alone.
03:13It's like when they're here,
03:15there are two groups.
03:17If you feed one group,
03:19it won't reach the other one.
03:21If you feed this one,
03:23it won't reach the other one either.
03:25A few moments later,
03:28their visitor has arrived.
03:34They are already greeting each other.
03:39But of course,
03:40they're feeding a banana.
03:46In this sanctuary,
03:48monkeys and humans can interact freely.
03:53But monkeys can't avoid getting angry or getting angry.
04:07In Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental,
04:11monkeys can mix with humans.
04:20Monkeys are free to chase and rest in their homes.
04:27But before this sanctuary can be found,
04:31monkeys used to kill each other every time they step on the field.
04:37It's a pest and it steals crops.
04:43To avoid this,
04:45a resident gave her land for the monkeys to live.
04:49We agreed through an agreement that we would help the area.
04:54If we can't raise the monkeys,
04:56we will protect them.
04:58If we don't have a monkey sanctuary,
05:00we will provide provisions for their food.
05:04Monkeys are also open to anyone who can help the sanctuary and the monkeys.
05:12We need to be careful of close encounters in the wildlife.
05:17I've tested monkeys in a facility in Albay before.
05:22To make sure they don't have tuberculosis before they are rehabilitated.
05:28Unless they are believed to be many.
05:30The truth is, they are also endangered.
05:34In the latest study of monkeys by experts,
05:39from a vulnerable status,
05:42the Philippine Long-tailed Macaque or monkeys are now endangered.
05:47According to the latest IUCN assessment,
05:50the Long-tailed Macaque is considered as endangered.
05:53And the reason for this is the threats to them.
05:58In the Philippines,
06:00the major threat to them is habitat destruction,
06:06pet trade, and hunting.
06:09That's why the sanctuaries that become eco-tourism sites are very helpful
06:14in protecting the animals.
06:21This is how the Mambucal Resort and Wildlife Sanctuary
06:24looks like for the flying foxes in Negros Occidental.
06:32The flying foxes or large flying foxes live on tall trees.
06:39Here, the wildlife is closely monitored.
06:47Because there are often flying foxes in this area.
06:51Beboy is one of the most common flying foxes in the area.
06:56Some of them feel that they are weak.
07:00For example, the mother.
07:02When she is weak, she sacrifices her child.
07:06There are also some that fell because of the thorns.
07:10They were attacked by thorns.
07:12They accidentally fell.
07:14Today,
07:16I did not expect that I would encounter a flying fox that fell from a tree.
07:22It just suddenly fell here, sir.
07:25On the cement.
07:27When we go up here, we will see flying foxes.
07:31They probably fell.
07:33If they fall, they can fly.
07:35But if they are too weak,
07:37they are unable to flap their wings.
07:41They are weak.
07:43If we approach them,
07:45it will attempt to fly.
07:47Since it's not doing it, it's really weak.
07:49There's something wrong with the leg.
07:51Usually, it's upside down.
07:53Why can't it reach the ground?
07:56Is there a problem?
07:58Let's see if it can move.
08:00The wings are fine.
08:02It can move.
08:04I'm trying to flap its legs.
08:07I'm looking for a reason why it can't fly.
08:10It's also not aggressive.
08:12I just let it fly.
08:14By the way, if you see bats like that,
08:16hanging from this tree,
08:18don't touch them.
08:20Just let them rest or look for food.
08:24And do not attempt to catch them.
08:27Because some bats, they carry with them diseases.
08:30I thought that's why it fell because it's weak.
08:33But when we examined it,
08:36it's not like that.
08:38So we just put it next to a tree
08:40for it to collect its bearings.
08:42And then let's see later if it can fly again.
08:43Even though it's raining,
08:45it's still not leaving its place.
08:49It's licking its plant
08:51and drinking water from the rain.
09:00Because it can't fly,
09:02B-boy moved it to a place far from people's sight.
09:07So that it can't reach its prey,
09:09it can hide or eat from it.
09:13The role of ecotourism sites
09:15in conserving wildlife's natural habitat is big.
09:19There's support and space for the wildlife
09:23in the ecotourism sites.
09:25The ecotourism managers also have the opportunity
09:28to have educational campaigns
09:30for conservation of long-tailed macaques and other wildlife.
09:33However, if it's not good
09:36or if it's not good enough,
09:37or if the practices in the ecotourism areas
09:40are not sustainable,
09:42then it can cause problems.
09:47But experts have their own opinion
09:49when it comes to these places.
09:51There are also practices
09:53such as catching.
09:55It's not just a problem
09:57or it's not just risky for the long-tailed macaque,
09:59but it's also risky for humans
10:01where long-tailed macaques can bite
10:04or scratch humans.
