We are pleased to announce that Bat World Sanctuary is the recipient of a $25,000 grant through the Chase Giving Contest! The funds will be used to build a Bat Castle, on protected land, to serve as a wild refuge for thousands of bats in need of habitat due to planned development and destruction of their current roosts. After the Bat Castle is complete, we will build a larger Bat World facility on the same land, which will be capable of housing bats in immediate jeopardy of White Nose Syndrome. Learn how you can donate and be a part of building a new Bat World!

WHY SAVE BATS?
Bats are clean, gentle and intelligent, they are vital to the ecosystem, and they enhance out lives in many ways. Fruit and nectar bats bring us approximately 450 commercial products and over 80 different medicines through seed dispersal and pollination. Up to 98% of all rainforest regrowth comes from seeds that have been spread by fruit bats. Insect-eating bats are literal vacuum cleaners of the night skies, eating millions upon millions of harmful bugs. They protect us by eating insect-pests that destroy crops as well as insects that cause human disease.
WHAT WE DO
In a world where so many look away, Bat World Sanctuary is on the front line to end the abuse and destruction of bats. We are recognized as the world’s leader in bat care standards and cutting-edge rehabilitation treatments, and we created specific guidelines for excellence in bat education programs that are used worldwide.
Each year we rescue thousands of bats who might otherwise die. Lifetime sanctuary is given to non-releasable bats, including those that are orphaned, injured, confiscated from the illegal pet trade and retired from zoos and research facilities. Bat World Sanctuary was founded in 1994 and is a 501c3 non-profit, all volunteer organization with 20 rescue centers nationwide. Donations allow us to continue our rescue efforts for bats. You can help us save bats by educating others about their plight, and by donating to Bat World Sanctuary. Click here to read our mission. Please join us on Facebook and You Tube.

Dear Friends and Supporters, Internet harassment is on the rise and, unfortunately, Bat World Sanctuary and our Founder and President, Amanda Lollar, have been recent victims. We have been harassed and defamed by an individual who has a decade-long history of bullying and attempting to ruin the careers of professionals across the US. This individual 
Bat Fuel
Posted on: March 27th, 2011 by Bat World Sanctuary
Spring is here and fuel prices are up, which is kind of a coincidence because the price of fuel always gets higher for bats in the springtime. Fuel (or a lack thereof) can cause big problems for our tiny winged-wonders, although we’re not talking about the the kind that’s made from fossils. Fat is also
