We created this video to illustrate the ways in which the health of our planet depends upon the environmental services provided by bats. The welfare of global bat populations depends on conservation actions that everyone can take on a daily basis. Bats are often harmed because people believe myths and misinformation that have been spread for centuries. Watch this educational video and join us in saving bats! Download offline version (100mb).

Bobcat Kitten in Mine
|
|
|
The very young bobcat kitten seen in this Bat Conservation International video was spotted while surveying bats in a western Arizona mine. A host of evidence, besides the kitten, show that this abandoned mine was an active bobcat den. The mother likely moved to an upper level to avoid us. We decided not to survey these areas to avoid disturbing either the bobcat or the bats. This video highlights the importance of subterranean habitat to a variety of animals. These underground environments provide critical refuge from the scorching heat of Southwestern deserts. Bats are always the driving factor in Bat Conservation International's work in mines and caves, but we protect many other animals, as well. Please note that we maintained a safe distance from the kitten and made no attempt to touch or disturb it beyond filming. |

Townsend
|
|
|
This Bat Conservation International video shows a Townsend's big-eared bat roosting in the main shaft of a complex abandoned mine in western Arizona. The bat is probably a male or non-reproductive female, since a maternity colony of more than 500 bats was located farther back in the mine. The bat's large ears are curled back, a very common posture when roosting or hibernating. You can also see two bumps located along the bats nose area. These are likely used to scent-mark roost sites or, possibly, the bat's young. This mine contains the largest known maternity colony of Townsend's big-eared bats in Arizona. Bat Conservation International and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management plan to install a bat-friendly gate to protect the colony in the fall of 2011, after the bats have left for the year. We normally do not linger long around bats to avoid disturbing them, and we don't handle them unless we must. |

Bats of the Philippines - The Monfort Bat Cave - Sherwin
|
|
|
When tens of thousands of bats emerge at sunset or are seen tightly packed along the walls of a cave, their sheer numbers can leave an impression that bat conservation isn't particularly critical. We must remember that the bats we see in such great numbers are usually the "Lucky Bats" that enjoy some measure of protection at a specific site. They may be terribly vulnerable at other roosts or along migratory routes. And they may, in fact, be so crowded because other roosting options have been lost and this is all they have left. |
