Bat Conservation International
PROTECTING BATS GLOBALLY
Bats lead us to the best opportunities to protect nature anywhere in the world. Bats are vital to our world’s ecosystems and economy, but hundreds of species face threats to their existence.
Founded in 1982, Bat Conservation International has grown into a globally recognized conservation organization dedicated to ending bat extinctions. Their goal is to redefine what is possible in global conservation, through the utilization of cutting-edge tools, technology, and training to create a real, measurable impact.
A WORLD WITHOUT BATS WOULD LOOK VERY DIFFERENT
A world without bats would look very different than the one you know and not for the better.
With more than 1,400 species located all around the globe, bats play a substantial ecological role that is vital to the health of our natural ecosystem and human economies.
WONDERING HOW BATS ENRICH OUR LIVES?
- They pollinate, disperse, and protect valuable cash crops, including bananas, guava, durians, cashews, dates, figs, cacao, sugar, corn, cotton, and agave (the kind we need to make tequila!)
- Fruit-eating bats in the tropics disperse seeds that are critical to restoring cleared or damaged rainforests
- Bat poop, known as guano, is a valuable natural fertilizer with far-reaching benefits to landowners and communities
