Peter Lina Peter H.C. Lina is one of Europe's and the world's best-known researchers and activists in bat conservation. He currently works at the Naturalis Centre in Leiden. He is also the driving force behind the European Bat Research Symposia (EBRS), the originator and co-founder of BatLife and a key member of many panels, including EUROBATS. The Polish chiropterological movement owes a lot to Peter Lina, his personal support and advocacy in the European arena. Also, scientific research and conservation of the Lesser Horseshoe Bat are among the areas whose development would certainly have been much more difficult without Peter's help.
