A privilege to learn from so many leading bat biologists today at #ICCB2023. Research is expanding 🙌🏼but our biggest joint challenge remains: how do we spread the message of evidence- based importance of bats to policy makers and communities?
This #BatWeek I'd like to encourage anyone who can to donate to a gofundme to support an exceptionally talented PhD student from Cameroon to visit the US and learn molecular techniques

Discovery made by @AMNH and @BatConIntl#wildlife#discovery#bat#species
“In an age of extinction, a discovery like this offers a glimmer of hope—It's a spectacular animal—It has this bright-orange fur, and because it was so distinct, that led us to realise it was not described before”—Winifred Frick @FrickWinifred@BatConIntl https://t.co/65AA926A3Z
We are thrilled to announce the discovery of a new species of a striking orange and black bat in a mountain range in West Africa. A group of scientists led by @AMNH and Bat Conservation International have discovered "Myotis nimbaensis" https://t.co/RV9mIBTaWl
