Cloud Forest eTours!

We are back online showing fruit eating bats live each night! Please be patient if you only see a couple bats each night as we are still trying to attract the bats with our food source.

We are using fruit (their natural food) to attract bats to an infrared-equipped camera like we used for QuetzalCam earlier this year. After testing for several months, we have developed a camera and lighting system that allows good pictures of the bats without disturbing them while they feed. Enjoy!

This website was developed to enhance global understanding of the unique and important cloud forests of Central America. Through their impact on water and soil quality, climate patterns, and numerous known and unknown plant and animal species, cloud forests profoundly affect life surrounding them and life around the planet. Current financing and management provided by the Tropical Science Center and Forum One Communications. Past support from the World Bank and the Central American Commission for Environment and Development (CCAD). Contact Wagner Lopez info@cloudforestalive.org with comments or questions.
