Finally sharing this beautiful project, I'm thankful i got to do some illustrations for it ! Many thanks to Elise Sivault for trusting me with this 🦇 See the second poster here ! more details about the project under the cut !

Papua New Guinea is a biodiversity hotspot home to 95 species of bats that are increasingly threatened by fragmentation because of commercial logging and agricultural practices. The primary objective of this project was to enhance our comprehension of the ecology of various understudied bat species native to Papua New Guinea. Additionally, it aimed to shed light on the pivotal role these bats play in providing essential ecosystem services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control within two designated conservation areas.

Such endeavors have the potential to significantly increase conservation efforts in this biodiversity hotspot, where scientific studies are scarce and the knowledge of species remains limited among the local communities residing in the towns and villages adjoining the two conservation areas.

Bats are not evil after all

We're wrong about bats🦇. They're not bloodthirsty monsters🧌 who won't convert you into vampires 🧛 They're productive for the ecosystem as power pollinators.

While I can't find it anymore, I found a post on here (that I rebloged) talking about using red lights for street lights as they are 'safe' for bats.

I don't know if this was a joke that I ignorantly took seriously, or if people really do think this.

I'm here to say PLEASE DON'T. This Tumblr post lead me to use bat protection as my topic for a college paper. While I am no expert, through my research I have found that red lights are actually BAD for bats and attract the little ones, causing disorientation, improper migration, and collisions with lampposts. BAD! Do not add red lights for bat protection without first doing research on your local species! Because while I do believe they are safe for a few, the vast majority they ARE NOT!

Warm lighting however is usually safe! Or safer anyway. Yes Ik red is a warm color... Does not make it a warm light. You want specifically warm-white light I believe.

Thank you!

The Miami-Dade County Mayor’s office issued a memorandum today recommending that the county commissioners rescind the development lease agreement with Miami Wilds LLC for a proposed water park development in an environmentally sensitive area at Zoo Miami.

The memo also recommends the withdrawal of a commission agenda item regarding the project that is set for a vote at the Dec. 12 county commission meeting.

The memorandum from Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s office concludes that the development lease agreement with Miami Wilds LLC will likely need to be rescinded to best safeguard the county’s interests and the community’s needs and objectives.

“We’re thrilled to support Mayor Levine Cava’s recommendation to rescind the lease for Miami Wilds,” said Mike Daulton, executive director at Bat Conservation International. “We trust the county commissioners will echo this sentiment by voting the project down and protecting the critically endangered Florida bonneted bat and Miami’s natural assets. We’ll be watching closely on Dec. 12 and expecting the commissioners to do the right thing for the environment and Miami-Dade taxpayers.”

“We’re so grateful to Mayor Cava for standing up for the environment with her recommendation to the county commission to rescind the lease,” said Tropical Audubon Society senior conservation director Lauren Jonaitis. “We fervently hope the commissioners follow the mayor’s lead. It will be great to begin working together again to permanently protect these environmentally sensitive lands.”

Today’s memo comes weeks before a scheduled federal court hearing and decision on conservation groups’ claims that the National Park Service violated environmental laws when it released land-use restrictions on the environmentally sensitive site.

Happy holidays, my friends! If you’re reading this, I ask that you do only two things for me when you have the opportunity:

1. Do something kind for someone else. This can be as simple as complimenting something you like about them, holding the door, giving them a shoutout, reblogging art and leaving nice comments, anything. It means a lot more than we realize, and our words/actions DO have an impact.

2. Please reblog this post to spread my bat promotes page! It contains very important links to wildlife conservation sites (specifically bats), where you can donate to the worthy cause in protecting bat species and helping prevent White Nose Syndrome. Even if you don’t donate yourself, reblogging is a HUGE help.

EEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEE

That's right! It's International Bat Appreciation Day! We share our planet with over 1400 species of bat, making the second most abundant mammal order, and they perform a wide variety of ecological roles, from dispersing seeds to pollinating flowers to eating thousands of insects in a single night! Over 200 bat species are listed as Threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature--that is over 14 percent of all bats!

YOU can help endangered bats today by donating to Pennsylvania Bat Rescue at this link. This PA-based organization rehabilitates sick or injured bats and helps educate people like you and me in how we can create more bat-friendly environments.

If you want to learn about particularly-cool bat species native to New Zealand, check out this Consider Nature article on the Pekapeka, the bat that walks:

For the rest of the day, Consider Nature will be bat-bombing Tumblr with some of our favorite bat species to share them with the world!
