To celebrate the world’s only flying mammals, 2027 will be the International Year of the Bats!
The Year of the Bats website is now live — please visit to learn how you can contribute if you are interested. There will be more content added as we approach the start of 2027.
In the mean time, if you would like to spread the word about bats, check out the GBatNet SciComm team’s vetted database of International Library of Educational Resources.
