Bat Conservation he Organization for Bat Conservation was founded in 1990 to help protect bats and their habitats through education, conservation and ecological research. Until recently, there has been little known about bats and their benefits. Because of this, many bats have become endangered and even extinct before we knew it.
Bats are one of our most essential allies.
Worldwide they are the major predators of night-time insects, and many are key figures in plant pollination and seed dispersal. OBC works on both a national and grass-roosts level to safeguard one of the worlds most fascinating, but least understood animals. The Organization for Bat Conservation presents over a thousand educational programs each year for schools, nature centres, and zoos in the U.S. and Canada. Our programs consist of a slide presentation, an interactive question and answer session where bat houses and bat conservation are discussed, and a visit by various live bat species. In presentations OBC stresses science awareness and the protection of public health.
