Bats: Fantastic Mammals

Despite their undeserved bad rep, bats are actually wonderful creatures that play a vital role in maintaining the health of our environment and economy. It's Bat Week this week, held annually from the 24th to the 31st of October, and we pay tribute to these tiny ecosystem services providers, and discuss why humankind needs to work on bad our romance with them.
