  • Into the Bat Cave: The Mysterious World of Bats and Bat Research

    2025-12-05

    As Halloween approaches bats are often depicted as terrors of the night. But the real threat is that bat populations are in steep declines in Canada… and humans are mostly to blame. Bats are much more terrorized by us than we are by them. Join CWF’s Bat Researcher Bailey Bedard to lean about the different Canadian bat species, the amazing abilities they have and the benefits they provide humans and the ecosystem. You will also be able to find out more about CWF’s bat research and how humans, while the primary threat to bats, can also be part of the solution to helping them recover.

Our guest will be Michael Mesure, a founding member and Executive Director of Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP) Canada. Michael will speak about the work of FLAP Canada, how human-made structures threatens birds and offer solutions for mitigating building collisions. This will include examples of both effective and ineffective collision deterrent methods and some background on bird-friendly building design guidelines, policies, code and law.
