Annual sponsorship opportunities
Joining Bats without Borders in a business partnership is an opportunity to contribute to the vision of valuing, protecting, and conserving bats and their habitats in southern Africa. Bats without Borders envisions a future where bats and their habitats are not only valued but also protected and conserved, thereby fostering the well-being of these remarkable animals, the broader biodiversity, and local communities. The focus on bats reflects an understanding of their crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, pollination, and insect control.
By becoming an annual sponsor, companies can play a pivotal role in realising this vision, demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility.

We are excited to be hosting some impactful events again in 2024! In addition to our ongoing #WingedWednesday webinar series which started in 2019, each year we host events to support bat conservation efforts. We are particularly passionate about opportunities to strengthen in-country capacity and bring people across Africa (and beyond) together to enable more southern African applied research, advocacy, engagement and education, and networking for the benefit of bat conservation.
