We’re fiercely passionate, expert conservationists and scientists who are leading the charge to ensure the worldwide survival of bats.

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. Working together, our 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.

Strategic Plan

Bats are vital to our world’s ecosystems and economy, but hundreds of species are under threat. As a science-based and results-focused organization, we have developed a roadmap outlining some of the highest impact conservation efforts happening anywhere in the world.

In this 5-year strategic plan, we have identified four main missions that will ensure the survival of these extraordinary mammals. Our four missions include:

  1. Implement endangered species interventions
  2. Protect and restore landscapes
  3. Conduct high-priority research and develop scalable solutions
  4. Inspire through experience
