Dhaneesha’s Diary

Again after some months, I finally got an article on which to write

This morning, I was coming at work in my uncle’s car, and was listening to Radio – Plus. There were some planters busy discussing about bats in Mauritius, meaning, the impact these animals have on our cultivations and economy, mainly in Summer ( including the mangoes and letchis seasons which are for soon )

Some seemed so worried as the bats were destroying their fruits at night and thus, they were not expecting much profit this year. They had asked the Ministry of Agriculture to do the necessary.

But as we all know, bats are protected animals in our country because they are unique and, can’t be harmed at all.

The use of nets

The planters had then been proposed to use nets to cover their plants….but what about the big trees? Will the nets be able to cover such plants? how much will this cost?

The discussion was then left pending as some of the planters did not agree at all to use such method of protection even if nets were given to them as gifts.

Other practices.

Another practice in Mauritius involves lighting the trees with bulbs so as to discourage the bats from coming closes. Some planters do not hesitate to make use of poison.

Aren’t they cute? lol

To be short, what do you think is the best solution to this problem?

By the way, HAPPY DIVALI, MANZ GATO BIENNNNNNNNN
