Dispeller of myths
Superior pollinators and insect predators, bats are, with a few exceptions, valuable assets to mankind. Yet these flying mammals are reviled and killed.
"Patience and education are needed; we have to explain to donors the importance of investing in bat conservation.”
Rodrigo Medellín’s passionate advocacy of bats through conservation and education is dispelling harmful myths and bringing about harmony between these animals and their human neighbours.
