Bat Conservation Scientific Publications

Science drives conservation forward. At Bat Conservation International, we contribute to peer-reviewed research that strengthens how bats and their habitats are protected around the world. Our work reflects decades of commitment to careful study, collaboration, and measurable conservation impact.

This page brings together bat research publications authored or co-authored by BCI scientists and partners. These papers represent a broad range of conservation topics, from wildlife health and habitat protection to monitoring strategies and long-term population trends. Each publication adds to a growing body of knowledge designed to support smarter, more effective conservation decisions.
