What do bat feces have to do with El Niño? Hernani Fernandes Magalhães de Oliveira writes to us to explain his research. Turns out, it is more than you would think! 

During her recent trip to her homeland of Australia, Micaela Jemison, BCI's Director of Communication and Public Outreach, was able to see a familiar sight - the grey-headed flying fox. 

The pallid bat may be best known for munching on scorpions, but new research shows that this bat also enjoys cactus fruit and nectar. 

BCI has had the opportunity to work with many creative FIRST LEGO League teams who had chosen bats as the topic of their “Animal Allies” challenge. BCI is delighted to see so many young conservationists interested in finding solutions to the many issues bats face today.

When the Elemental Robots, a FIRST Lego League Team from Milwaukee Montessori School, decided to tackle bats and wind turbines they knew just who to call.

The Board of Directors couldn’t be more thrilled to have Mike Daulton leading the BCI team,” said Cullen Geiselman, Chair of the BCI Board of Directors.

With more than 1332 bat species in the world one of them has to be your match!

A new, first-of-its-kind study shows the National Park Service (NPS) is home to a whopping 53 unique species of bats, which is good news at a time when bats face tremendous threats.
