Don't buy 'curiosities' made of dead bats!
Online stores including Amazon and Google shop are still openly selling these items, a year after we highlighted the problem. Trade in Endangered species needs to stop. #wildlife #bats #nature 🌍

#BREAKINGNEWS 🦇🌍 The world now has 1,500 recognized bat species! 🎉 The global list at www.batnames.org just hit this milestone. New bats are found through fieldwork in remote places & genetic discoveries. Amazing biodiversity news! #Bats #Biodiversity #BatsNeedFriends

The first speaker at #SEBatConf is @jackhooker.bsky.social who has been reviewing the evidence of the impact of off-shore wind farms on bats. Bats are often not considered in the way farms are positioned and managed

👏Bats 👏Are👏Economically👏IMPORTANT!👏
$3.39-$8/ha - that's the calculated value of bats foraging over rice crops in Mexico. BATS ARE ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT.🦇🌎🧪🦊

Image shows three graphs. To the left o the graph are three pest insect species. Each graph shows the numbers of pests (adults or eggs or pannicles) found per plot on the y-axis and data along the x-axis. Graphed are the numbers observed in excluded zones (no bats) and non-excluded zones (with bats). The numbers of insects are higher in the areas where bats were excluded. Results were significant.
