When it was pointed out to the mango growers that their cultivated trees were pollinated by the fruit bats and the wild trees had been planted by them as well, the growers were convinced to let the fruit bats live and to place bags over their cultivated crops after the trees had been pollinated. Closer to home, CPT's educational efforts includes a very active in-school program which has expanded beyond their ability to fulfill all the requests they receive. For this reason, future plans include creating a multimedia kit which can be sent to the schools which will include video, interactive CD-ROM, slides and workbooks. Their plans are to, not only study the plant, animal, and aquatic life of the area, but also to set up a genetically sound captive breeding program for many plant and animal species endemic to the area. Behind all of these efforts is the driving force of its founder, Michael Bleyman.
People really do want to come out and physically be on the site.
One of the reasons Bleyman inspires this kind of devotion is that it's clear that he is completely devoted to the goal. He is not in this to make money. There was very little money and little volunteer support. None of the large corporate donations they have now, and I've seen it over and over again. The animals ate first, then if there was anything left over, Kay and Michael ate.
