We are
Global South Bats
Our mission is to connect and empower bat conservation allies in the Global South where locally-led research and wildlife protection are most needed.
We work together and share knowledge to find solutions to common bat conservation challenges.
Living and working in hotspots of bat biodiversity, we face many of the same knowledge gaps, threats and opportunities. Now is the time to join forces and advance bat research and conservation.
Bats are our allies. but they need us too…

of insects are eaten by bats every night, they make the best pest controllers to protect our crops
bat species are on the endangered list and need our help
