WHY SAVE BATS?

Bats  are clean, gentle and intelligent, they are vital to the ecosystem, and they enhance our lives in many ways. Fruit and nectar bats bring us approximately 450 commercial products and over 80 different medicines through seed dispersal and pollination. Up to 98% of all rainforest regrowth comes from seeds that have been spread by fruit bats. Insect-eating bats are literal vacuum cleaners of the night skies, eating millions upon millions of harmful bugs. They protect us by eating insect-pests that destroy crops as well as insects that cause human disease.

In a world where so many look away, Bat World Sanctuary is on the front line to end the abuse and destruction of bats. Bat World is recognized as the world’s leader in bat care standards and cutting-edge rehabilitation treatments. Bat World created specific guidelines for excellence in bat education programs that are used worldwide. Bat World Sanctuary is verified and accredited with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and the American Sanctuary Association.

Each year Bat World rescues thousands of bats who might otherwise die. Lifetime sanctuary is given to non-releasable bats, including those that are orphaned, injured, confiscated from the illegal pet trade and retired from zoos and research facilities. Bat World Sanctuary was founded in 1994 and is a 501c3 non-profit, all volunteer organization. Donations allow Bat World to continue their rescue efforts for bats. You can help us save bats by educating others about their plight, and by donating to Bat World Sanctuary. Click here to read their mission. Please join them on Facebook and You Tube.
