Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation
Bat World Sanctuary is dedicated to the care, rehabilitation and release of injured bats as well as a sanctuary for non-releasable bats. This year over 7,165 bats were rescued, and over 6,500 of these were released back into the wild. We assisted both the public and wildlife rescuers with bat rescue rehabilitation issues in Argentina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Croatia, Germany, Honduras, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, Thailand, Tobago, Seychelles Islands Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, Vienna and Vietnam and information to bat rescuers and assisted the public with downed bats and humane bat exclusions in 41 states in the USA.
As the only accredited sanctuary for bats in the world, we continue to collaborate with US Fish and Wildlife Department on efforts to control White Nose Syndrome. We continue to offer education programs for Animal Services officers, veterinarians, sonservation scientists, biologists and wildlife rehabilitators around the world. We engage in raising the awareness of the public through speaking engagements, publications, promotional and educational items showing bats in a positive context, and online education about bats through our website, social media, and books. We saved over 3,000 bats from extermination in Lufkin Texas by persuading the building owner to use humane exclusion techniques. We provided basic and advanced workshops on bat rehabilitation for animal care professionals, and through our website provided information about a new cure for wing wasting disease. We are working with TXDOT on a bats and bridges project that can provide needed habitat to bats in North central Texas that have been displaced due to construction.
