Last WingedWednesday Webinar for 2021!
Bats Without Borders is hosting their next WingedWednesday webinar this week, at 15hrs CAT on Wednesday 24 November. Their speaker is Professor Fiona Mathews, from the University of Sussex, UK, who will be talking about the impact of infrastructure on bats – from roads to wind energy.
Her talk is particularly relevant to Zambia as our Ministry of Energy has signed an implementation agreement to build the country’s first wind energy plant just 50km from the borders of Kasanka National Park. This proposed location is directly in the flightpath of Kasanka’s internationally important migratory colony of straw-coloured fruit bats and poses a severe threat to their population. So join in Professor Mathews talk to find our why clean energy infrastructure solutions need to be located in the right places for our biodiveristy.
