Evidence to help practice

International Bat Night has been celebrated at the River Allen Bat Roost since 2013. From the beginning it was a very successful event with 50 – 60 people participating each year. They listened to informative talks and enjoyed bat walks along the River Allen with bat detectors. The agenda for the Bat Night varied from year to year but it always contained a creative part. We received a lovely card after the Bat Night in 2017 with many good wishes and a statement that the people of the River Allen Bat Roost were prepared to fight for Europe’s bats.

A book "Säugetiere Luxemburgs" (Mammals of Luxemburg) by Laurent Schley and Jan Herr is available for ordering and in bookstores accross Europe. It comprises, among all, data on 21 bat species occuring in the country. Participants of the EUROBATS MoP 8 may order the book directly from Laurent  laurent.schley@anf.etat.lu at 25 Euro's price and he will bring copies to the meeting.
