Bats are under unprecedented threat from widespread habitat destruction, invasive species, hunting, accelerating climate change, and other stresses. Without concerted international action, bat populations could continue to fall, driving species to extinction.

Working together, we have the power to end bat extinctions worldwide. With the help of partner organizations, we are working to conserve bat species at a global scale and ensure the survival of the most imperiled species.

Embracing the adaptive management approach of the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation (OS), we have outlined what we consider to be some of the highest-impact conservation efforts happening anywhere in the world, prioritized based on rigorous science and shared data. Utilizing the systematic OS framework for planning, implementing, and monitoring, we believe that our projects will result in significant improvements in the preservation of these extraordinary mammals.
