Our first FALL program is FREE and open to all! Join The Linnaean Society of New York at 7pm on Tuesday, 9/14, for a special Zoom presentation, “How Bats Are Uniting Conservationists in the Global South,” by Angelique Menchaca, PhD, bat conservationist and Director of Global South Bats
We couldn’t enjoy Tequila without bats, a single little brown bat can eat up to 1000 mosquito-sized insects in a night, and yet they still get a bad rap! What’s the story? Dr. Menchaca will cover some of the most remarkable aspects of bat diversity, as well as the bat’s role in ecosystems, and in our daily lives. You will also learn how their link with disease transmission inflicts damage on their reputation. Learn about a new initiative, led by young scientists, helping protect bats in the most vulnerable places on earth and changing the future of conservation across the Global South. As a result of this talk, you will undoubtedly fall in love with bats and become an advocate for their protection.
