Meet Szilárd-Lehel Bücs’s team in Romania who are working across borders to protect the horseshoe bat. Szilard is a bat expert with 18 years of experience. Read our latest blog by Henry Rees on the impact of their work, and the critical importance of bats in Romania: shorturl.at/cgBIW
Did you know...
🦇 two of the largest bat colonies in Europe are found in Romania, with roughly 70,000 bats in each!
🦇 Bats are both incredibly important and also one of the most misunderstood species in the world.
🦇Early data shows that bats are breeding in summer in Serbia, then roosting and hibernating in Romania during the winter.
🦇Bat colonies can be regularly disturbed, intentionally and unintentionally, on both sides of the border.
🦇 CLP has been supporting this project as it develops since 2014.
