Fruit Bats

gray0328

In the heart of Zambia, a sight to behold

A migration of bats, a story untold

Millions of flying foxes, straw-colored and strong

Their numbers so vast, their journey so long

 

They descend on Kasanka, a national park

To feast on the fruit, to leave their mark

They spread seeds throughout the southern savannah

Their vital role, a sight we cannot abandon

 

The largest migration of any mammal on earth

Their journey is crucial, their value of worth

But deforestation and poaching pose a threat

Their existence endangered, we must not forget

 

Conservation groups work tirelessly to protect

These bats of importance, we cannot neglect

Their mysterious migration, a wonder to behold

A symbol of strength in numbers, a tale yet untold

 

So let us stand together, to protect and defend

The straw-colored fruit bat, on which we depend

For their journey is vital, their presence profound

Let us safeguard their future, let their story resound. ("Fruit Bats") by Courtney Weaver Jr.

    Campaign for fruit bats is very much needed - in some parts they are viewed with a certain hostility by inhabitants when visited by a congregation they consider noisy and smelly.
    Good write.
