Bats are vital for the maintenance of many ecosystems.
There are 9 bat species in Ireland, all of which are protected. Bats have declined in recent years because of a decline in insects and the loss of roosting sites.
At Cloudforests, we are passionate about protecting and conserving all bats which roost at any of our forests. We are also dedicated to educating our partners and the general public on these amazing creatures and the threats they face.
Not many other creatures suffer from people’s perceptions as much as bats do. Their reputation well & truly precedes them. So, why do modest little bats have such a bad name?
