I wish the whole world knew how important bats are in ecosystems worldwide 🌎

[EveryBat @EveryBat]

April 17th is National #BatAppreciationDay. Bats play an important role in many ecosystems around the world. They are crucial pollinators for cactus species and many other tropical plants, they help control insect populations & also disperse seeds!

Why are bats important to you?

There is a lot of misinformation circulating which poses a threat to bats by fuelling unfounded fear in people. To provide clarity and science based facts, we have prepared a set of FAQs in relation to bats and COVID-19. https://t.co/Ui6pZ7D82r #InternationalBatAppreciationDay
