The United Nations declared 2011-2012 as International Year of the Bat and Bat Conservation International (BCI) as an International Year of the Bat Founding Partner.

As such, BCI organized and promoted bat conservation and celebration to hundreds and thousands around the globe.

But although Year of the Bat has officially ended, the many reasons to appreciate and celebrate bats remain, so we are extending our offer to join us as a Bat Conservation Friend, Partner or Sponsor.

If you have planned or would like to plan an event, BCI is ready to help (contact us).
