To help save the golden-capped fruit bat, you can sign petitions that are encouraging the Philippine government to help save the species. You can also donate to organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund and the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Foundation Inc. A very important aspect of bat conservation is cultural stigma, so you can educate your friends, family, and strangers about all of the wonderful things that bats do. Humans do not need to be scared of the golden-capped fruit bat, but the golden-capped fruit bat certainly needs to be scared of us. You can also check where your wood for furniture and other things is imported from. If it is from the Philippines, do not buy it! This is because every piece of timber that is exported is a piece of habitat that the golden-capped fruit bat is missing. The easiest way to make sure that your wood was harvested sustainably is to check if it is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified. If it does not have this label, there is a possibility that the wood was harvested illegally at the expense of the golden-capped fruit bat or any other animal (FSC Certification, 2017). Another very important thing is to check the labels of your food for palm oil. Food items such as Oreos, Cheez-Its, and Kit-Kats all contain palm oil. You can refuse to buy items with palm oil, and you can also contact the companies to complain about palm oil being one of their ingredients.
