This #BatAppreciationDay, it has never been more important to celebrate the vital role bats have in pollination and seed dispersal. Australiaโ€™s eucalyptus forests depend on them for regeneration. Thank you for standing with us as we #saveonesavethespecies

April 17th is National #BatAppreciationDay. Bats play an important role in many ecosystems around the world. They are crucial pollinators for cactus species and many other tropical plants, they help control insect populations & also disperse seeds! Why are bats important to you?
