Bat Conservation International
These folks, among many
other great things they do for bats, are the caretakers
of the largest colony of bats in the world . Over
20 million Mexican free-tailed bats live in the Bracken
cave just North of San Antonio and about 2 minutes from
my house!
In a world where so many
look away,
Bat World Sanctuary
is on the front line to end the abuse and destruction of
bats. They have been recognized as the world leader in
bat rehabilitation for over a decade. Each year they
rescue thousands of bats that 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 with 20 rescue centers nationwide.
- To provide
rescue, rehabilitation and release for injured bats.
- To provide
permanent sanctuary for non-releasable bats.
- The protection
and conservation of wild bat colonies.
- To promote humane
treatment of bats in captivity.
- To educate the
public about the importance of bats.
Jim Buzbee's Amazing site for
Bats
Jim has an obsession with
temperature plotting of his bat house and all things
"bat". He has countless links to sites which will
no doubt leave you in awe.
Scotts Bat House Page
Scott's
site
is designed mainly to provide
bat house plans.
The latest research data from BCI suggests that 2 or 3
or more large bat houses in one location with different
characteristics (color, sun exposure, size etc.) could
be most attractive to bats, although one well built bat
house should have good success rates as well. Building
a bat house can be a big job, so he offers
custom bat houses for sale.
