Gomantong Cave FAQs

What are the environmental concerns surrounding Gomantong Cave?
Despite its popularity as a tourist destination, Gomantong Cave faces several environmental concerns. The harvesting of swiftlet nests can disrupt the natural balance of the cave's ecosystem and harm other species that rely on the cave for their habitat. In addition, the increasing number of tourists visiting the cave can lead to littering, soil erosion, and damage to the cave's delicate limestone formations. Conservation efforts are being made to protect the cave and its inhabitants, including the establishment of a protected area and guidelines for sustainable harvesting practices.
