Little is known about bats, and most of the studies exclude ecology and habitat of bats. This habit has lead into distant looking and less curiosity in engaging in conservation of bats. The problem is that most of research are conducted at day time while the bats are inactive, so it’s very difficult to monitor their movement and activities in day time  though they are found nearly everywhere (under the bridges, buildings, trees, caves and in old mine).
Traditions and beliefs is the greatest damage to bats which creates fears, dislikes, destruction and possible extinction of bats.


What is so important about bats?
Think on their importance to man,  
Think about what they eat at night,
Think about their habitat.
