About this episode
One of the most widely misunderstood creatures, bats, unfortunately, have a bad rap. This episode will dispel some common misconceptions about bats. We’ll learn fun facts and the usefulness of these cryptic creatures.
Of 34 bat species in NSW, there are 18 that are listed as threatened or extinct. Threats for these bats include habitat loss, human activities and climate change.
Tune in to see what’s happening with these bats, why we want to help them and how you can get involved to aid in their protection.
