2011 Global Grassroots Bat Conservation Fund
BCI is committed to supporting high-quality, grassroots bat conservation efforts outside North America. In general, we look for: habitat protection projects with significant ecological projects that teach local citizens the value of protecting bats. We are most interested in supporting local, in-country conservationists and researchers. We especially look for projects in which BCI's support will be matched by other sources.
