2011: Year of the Bat



The UNEP Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and The Agreement on the Conservation of Populations of European Bats (EUROBATS) have joined together to celebrate the Year of the Bat.

Bats may be mysterious and misunderstood, but the earth’s only flying mammals are essential to our global environment. Discover with us how bats contribute to our rich biodiversity and well-being, through pollination, seed dispersal, insect control and other eco-services.

Every week a new article will be published on the world of bats.

For now I'd like to point out that you can find a complete list of Belgian caves that are closed until March 31st  due to hibernating bats in one of our previous posts.
