We are very fortunate to have a committed, dedicated and passionate team, who are the core of Bats without Borders! As a small NGO, we are largely a volunteer-run organisation. Below you will find out more about our Operational Team, inspiring Ambassadors, Board members and Scientific Advisors - meet our #changemakers!
Our operational team
Let's start our introductions with the operational team. We are lucky to have had many long-term volunteers, some who started not long after Bats without Borders started in 2013. As a small NGO we are largely a volunteer-based organisation and have a part-time Admin and Comms Officer and two full-time funded Conservation Officers.
