Now more than ever we urgently need your help! Your support is critical to help protect southern African bats. We are excited to have launched a new Friends of Bats without Borders initiative! 

Your funding will go directly to support conservation and engagement activities as well as strengthening in-country capacity for sustainable long-term conservation.

To find our more you can either e-mail our Admin and Comms Officer or if you would like to sign up please complete the following Friends form. Please select which gifts you would like to receive as a thank you from us!

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 strengthening:
    • training and career development opportunities for in-country ecologists and conservationists
    • 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.
