Our vision
Bats and their habitats in southern African are valued, protected and conserved for the well-being of bats, biodiversity and people.


Mission
Bats without Borders is dedicated to conserving bats, biodiversity and healthy ecosystems within southern Africa’s changing landscape. We will achieve this by supporting and conducting applied research that informs targeted conservation action, strengthening local capacity and promoting a positive attitude towards bats through public engagement.


Commitments
Bats without Borders will strive to:
  • PROTECT bat diversity and habitats by advocating for policy change with key stakeholders across southern Africa, informed by collaborative, evidence-based and ethical research.
  • RESTORE important natural habitats though conservation action informed by evidence-based research, in collaboration with African and international partners.
  • ENGAGE ecologists, researchers and conservationists across Africa to mobilise and protect their natural heritage through capacity strengthening and networking.
  • INSPIRE people in southern Africa to learn, better understand, appreciate and even love bats through inclusive, participatory and fun education and community engagement.
  • EMPOWER people to create and realise more sustainable livelihood strategies that both contribute to the alleviation of poverty and the conservation of key ecosystems and biodiversity.​
