  Bats are among the most
beautiful and gentle animals on earth. They are vital to the ecosystem and enhance our
lives in many ways. Insect eating bats eat millions of bugs nightly, and fruit bats bring
us approximately 450 commercial products. Yet for all they do, bats are continually
killed due to
myths, superstition and
fear. The life expectancy of a single bat exceeds 20 years, but slow birth rates limit
their population growth. When just 5 bats are needlessly killed, a potential 100 years of
animal life is destroyed.
In a world where so many look away, Bat World Sanctuary is
on the front line of activism to end the
abuse and
destruction of bats. We have been recognized as the world
leader in
bat
rehabilitation for the past decade. Each year we rescue thousands of bats
that 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 501(c)(3)
non-profit, all volunteer organization.
