Urgent campaign to help mitigate human-bat conflict before Eidolon migrate to #Zambia in Oct. Can you help - with donation and/or share widely with your network? @helenfromz @GlobalBatNet @eidolonnetwork @DinaDechmann @teague_o @jonrflanders @BattyLisa @KirstyJPark @OrlyRazgour
Calling all #batnerds @ibrc2022 we have a challenge for you! Can you help us raise urgent funding for focus group and household surveys to inform outreach to foster co-existence between one of #Africa's most iconic bat species and people by September! donate.giveasyoulive.com/cam…

1/n This just made our day @eidolonnetwork: we received feedback from @Suyian4Science about our #Eidolon booklets we made mainly for Zambian schoolchildren, but also for #Kasanka National Park to sell to tourists. @TheKasankaTrust @RolandKays @MPI_animalbehav @animaltracking

I would have called them golden-colored fruit bats instead of straw-colored. This male seems to be in full mating coloration here in Accra

Hard to believe I left home in September and now it’s December already.
The mission continues to get as many people as possible excited about bats 🦇 🤩
Big smiley audience to set up nets in western Zambia 🥰 #fieldwork

another magnificent infographic by @RimbaResearch - read and learn! There ARE cultures that always appreciated bats! @GiveBatsABreak @eidolonnetwork @bats_w_borders
And finally, to wrap up #BatWeek2021, we’re incredibly excited to announce the ‘Incredible Bat Tales from the Asia-Pacific’ map designed exclusively by @thetoonguy for #ProjectPteropus! fruitbatfundraiser.com/produ… 1/3

I keep thinking about this amazing graphic which shows how wild mammals make up only 4% of global land mammal biomass. To me, this helps explain why we have converging crises of climate change biodiversity loss, extinctions, and fresh water depletion. doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biab0…

⏳waiting for the #bats @eidolonnetwork
.@Suyian4Science & I just set a bunch of cameratraps to see how animals of the bat forest @TheKasankaTrust change when millions of 🦇 arrive later this fall. We snuck a peek at a few cams to get an idea of the 'before'.
Result #1: there are a lot of monkeys!

A big ask for swarm support. Our Italian colleagues have launched a lead ammunition ban petition to protect birds of prey from one the top causes of mortality through poisoning. chng.it/vxYRyXxwVv please sign it (no matter where you are from) and retweet.
