Bat Bangladesh Research and Conservation Project

The Bat Bangladesh research project broadly focuses on bats in Bangladesh, highlighting their ecology and conservation. Specifically, we are working on bat diversity, understanding how bats respond to land-use change, dispelling misconceptions about bats, and promoting "Bats are friends, not foes," as bats play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and economies. However, few people realize this.
This Project was led by Ashraf Ul Hasan Sazzad, a PhD Candidate from Texas Tech University, and supported by The Rufford Foundation, Bat Conservation International, the American Society of Mammalogists, the Graduate School at TTU, the Michelle C. Knapp scholarship, the Texas Tech Natural Science Research Laboratory, and The Kingston lab.
