Bat Conservation International

Bat Conservation International (BCI) is a nonprofit organization focused on the protection and conservation of bats worldwide. Founded in 1982, BCI works to understand and address the threats bats face, such as habitat loss and disease. They promote research, education, and conservation efforts to help maintain healthy bat populations, which are crucial for ecosystems as they pollinate plants and control insect populations. Through collaboration with researchers, governments, and communities, BCI strives to raise awareness about the importance of bats and foster conservation initiatives that benefit both bats and their habitats.
