European Bat Night

The European Bat Night is being held on Saturday, September 29th, near the Gallery of the Natural History Museum at Kalemegdan.

Citizens will have the opportunity to get familiar with characteristics of these animals, learn about their relationship with humans and find out how true the stories about their supernatural characteristics are.

This year significantly higher number of bats appeared in Belgrade, but people don’t know that actually they are a protected natural rarity. People generally fear them, which is why this event is an ideal opportunity to change the unfairly poor image people have about these mammals.

European Bats Night Initiative was created under the Agreement on the Conservation of European Bats (1991), which is a part of the international Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn Convention, which in Serbia entered into force on March 1st, 2008).
