Do you want to see where the #EBRS2024 will be held? The Tarragona Exhibition and Congress Center is a vintage modern auditorium built UNDERGROUND at the very center of #Tarragonacity ! What a better place for a bat conference? 🦇🤩

Protection of wild #garlic (Allium ursinum) in the city of #Berlin . People are over-harvesting this #plant for its taste and for medical purpose. Sad enough: No plant would be left without these fences.

Different levels of light pollution

Meeting of the Renewable Energy Task Force of #CMS is closing. We launched a working group on #bats with the intention to establish global guidelines for consideration of bats during #windenergy projects. 🦇🦇

New paper alert! doi.org/10.1111/nyas.1…

We combine DeepLabCut 🦄 and DLTdv for accurate AI based 3D reconstruction of bat flight.

I will post more details this weekend.

From me, Brooke Quinn, Gail, Sharon Swartz at Swartz Lab, and Dr. Aaron Corcoran 🦇.

Meeting of the Renewable Energy Task Force started under the umbrella of #UNEP #CMS and hosted by gov of #Spain . Hoping to reconcile the conflict between #windenergy and #biodiversity goals. #EUROBATS will contribute to help on the global scale. Go 🦇🦇🦇

Another of our #keynote speakers, is Dr. Dina Dechmann (dechmannlab ⭐️) a classical behavioral #ecologist with a passion for #evolution 🧬

Her emerging focus is increasingly on the role that resource distribution in time and space plays for animals 🦟🦇

Her research is applied in nature, aiming to provide the evidence base for managing our environment and conserving biodiversity💚. Much of her research has focused on bats as indicators of environmental change 💚🧐

Thrilled to read about the all female keynote speakers at EBRS2024. Orly Razgour, Dina Dechmann ⭐️, Vanessa Mata and Dr Winifred F Frick. There are so many things we can learn from these excellent scientists. Let's celebrate them and bats in #Tarragona ->

Concerted Action Plan for African straw-coloured fruit bats has been accepted by the parties during #CMSCOP14 , strongly supported by Bat Conservation International, Global Union of Bat Diversity Networks (GBatNet) and UNEP EUROBATS. Straw-coloured fruit #bats are panafrican migrants, key ecosystem players yet colonies are declining

We successfully launched our side event during #CMSCOP14 to raise awareness about the conflict between #windenergy production and migratory #bats . Talked to parties and lenders. Thanks to BirdLife International and Bat Conservation International for supporting the action

Happening today at the #CMSCOP14 - learn about the importance of lowering the risk of wind energy production to bats 🦇& birds 🦅Bat Conservation International Global Union of Bat Diversity Networks (GBatNet) Eurobat Christian Voigt (he/him) BirdLife Policy

Happy to see that #CMSCOP14 launched guidelines for considering migratory species during outdoor #lighting projects. Find it here here cms.int/en/meeting/fou…
scroll down to UNEP/CMS/COP14/Doc.30.4.4 and check Annex 3 -> My plea: Skip asthetic lighting of historic buildings!

Today Leibniz-IZW together with @BatConInt and BirdLife International will talk about 'Considering Nature-Safe Energy Infrastructure Development: From a Regional to Global Approach' during #CMSCOP14 . We need to better protect migratory #birds and #bats from colliding with wind turbines

📢BREAKING:

Landmark UN report reveals shocking state of wildlife: the world’s #migratoryspecies of animals are in decline, and the global extinction risk is increasing.

The CMS report launches now at #CMSCOP14 :
