BWB – Free Online Event

Bats Without Borders is inviting you to join in their new and exciting one day online event – Around the Bat World in 8 Sessions! – on Saturday 17 September 2022.

This online event will showcase the amazing diversity of work which is carried out by different bat groups from around the world. Their speakers, from Australia, Asia, South Africa, Zambia, Ghana and Europe, will each provide a snapshot of the work they do and offer lessons that they have learned along the way.

Their aim is to highlight the bat conservation work which takes place in different parts of the world and to inspire the creation of new bat groups, particularly across southern Africa.

The event is open to everyone from around the globe – whether you are an experienced bat worker or are completely new to the bat world. It will focus on inspiring people across southern Africa to find out more about bats and to consider setting up their own bat group. So BWB are especially encouraging individuals from southern African countries to join in. There will be opportunities for you to network and, for those of you who are already involved in bat groups. to share your experiences.
