Whether it's for you or a gift for someone, your contribution will help us conserve bats in southern Africa. If this is a gift for someone else please e-mail us with their details.

Thanks to people like you, we are making positive steps to raise the profile of bats in southern Africa and fund research to improve our knowledge of bats across the subcontinent. Your funding will contribute towards out priority areas which over the next two years are:

• Education:
  • ​develop targeted resources suitable for southern Africa; 
  • provide freely accessible information about southern African bat species through our website and by partnering with environmental education organisations; and
  • raise awareness of the value of bats and threats they face.
• Capacity enhancement:
  • support bat groups and carers in southern Africa;
  • work to secure funds to help support the great work done by the two bat groups in South Africa and to fund training to establish more bat groups in other countries and source further funds for bat carer training.
• Conservation advocacy:
  • establishing links with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to ensure bat cruelty cases are processed appropriately; and
  • strengthening links with other researchers and conservation organisations to work collaboratively to raise the profile of bats in the region.
• Applied research - promote and support conservation driven research to inform IUCN Redlist assessments and conservation action plans.
