Palm Frond Bat Roosts

Cambodian bat farmers climb bamboo poles used as ladders into sugar palm trees where they build roosts for bats. This video shows a man already in a tree, using bamboo scaffolding to go from one tree to another. He is also cutting out a roost that has been abandoned by the bats, probably due to parasites. He then raises fresh bundles of dry palm fronds to build a new roost.
