How You can Help

• Educate your friends and families about the benefits of bats and the threats they face around the world
  
  
• If caving in different areas of the world, help us protect the bats by adhering to all federal and local cave advisories and closures. Please be aware of the danger of spreading White-nose Syndrome and help reduce this threat by following WNS decontamination protocols and, whenever possible, using different gear for different caving areas
  
  
• Report bat roosts in Latin America and the Caribbean to BCI to help us work with local organizations to conserve important colonies
  
  
• Every donation counts! Our projects often are possible only with your donations. Even small donations can make a huge difference in the success of a project. BCI staff and partners need support to replace critical safety and project equipment and supplies as they wear out. Specifically, we have continuing needs for standard bat conservation equipment and supplies including: mist-nets, bat traps, cave helmets and lights, and bat detectors. Please contact BCI if you have an interest in donating the actual equipment. Thanks for your support!
