International Bat Night: Fijian Bat Sanctuary
Status
Confirmed
On this International Bat Night, Rainforest Trust would like to celebrate our work with National Trust of Fiji and Bat Conservation International. In July 2018, we created the first ever bat sanctuary in Fiji by officially protecting over 20 acres of land near the Nakanacagi Cave, which is home to the only known maternity colony of the Endangered Fijian Free-tailed Bat on Earth.
