Bats provide vital ecosystem services
including pest insect consumption,
plant pollination,
and seed dispersal,
making them ESSENTIAL to the health of our PLANET

BUT THEY’RE UNDER UNPRECEDENTED THREAT
from habitat destruction,
hunting,
climate change,
invasive species,
and other stresses.

Without concerted international action,
their populations will continue to fall,
driving many species to the brink.
