Bats are one of the most misunderstood mammals, and are seeing declining numbers across the globe. Bats make up 1/5 of all mammal species on earth, with over 1400 species worldwide. In the US alone, 12 of the 45 species are endangered, and in total there are over 200 species in 60 countries in endangered, critically endangered, or vulnerable statuses according to the IUCN red list.
We want to help spread the word that bats aren't bad! Bats are a natural pesticide, making them friends to all farmers. Besides their big appetite for the bugs that bother us, bats are also incredible pollinators, and contribute to pollinating hundreds of varieties of fruits including bananas, mangoes, and even the agave plant (that one is for the adults ;)
