Conservation should never be done in isolation. Community based, and community led initiatives are key. This is from a recent community workshop in Fikirini, #Kenya 🦇

Part of the continued emergence of bats from St Clair cave in Jamaica. There are an estimated 2 million #bats using this cave - 10 different species. An incredible sight. 🦇 #Jamaica

On Tuesday we’re releasing our final 🦇 videos, focusing on our work in #Kenya. Before then I’m going to highlight some photos from that project. Here’s @mgambarios.bsky.social surveying one of the coral caves.

Back to 🦇 content - this is the endangered Fijian free-tailed bat. There is only one known maternity roost for this species. We’ve just released a video on how we worked with local partners and communities to save this species from extinction: vimeo.com/1038668450

Will get back to posting photos of bats later wanted to recognise the partnerships needed to achieve effective #conservation. This is just some of the #Fiji team working to save the Fijian free-tailed bat 🦇

Not sure about anyone else, but I’m feeling as full as this common vampire #bat today (note that this is a very old photo - always wear gloves!). 🦇

Flashback to when I was lucky enough to catch the wrinkle-faced #bat in #Mexico. This species primarily feeds on soft fruit. This face sums up my mood during an early morning call 🦇
