​CONSERVATION CRISIS
-
Bats are facing unprecedented threats from habitat destruction, illegal poaching, and persecution due to misinformation.
-
Each loss is irreversible, and as these creatures vanish, so too does the rich tapestry that sustains life on Earth.
-
The loss of bats is not just a loss for biodiversity but a perilous step towards ecological imbalance that affects us all.
