BAT WORLD SANCTUARY

The Largest Bat Sanctuary on Earth

Bat World Sanctuary is on the front line to end the mistreatment of bats. Each year we rescue hundreds of bats who might otherwise die. Lifetime sanctuary is given to non-releasable bats, including those that are orphaned, injured, and rescued from the exotic pet trade, zoos and research facilities. We are also involved in conservation efforts both locally and internationally. 

Bat World was founded in 1994 and is a 501c3 non-profit, accredited organization with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.

Today is the perfect day to give to bats! That’s right! Today is North Texas Giving Day, and there is still time to donate! 

This year we are raising money to complete the Bat World Learning Center, which will be massively beneficial for bats all across the globe! Along with giving us space to host our bat rehabilitation workshops, it will allow us to once again provide educational programs for both adults and school children. We will also be able to offer training to animal control officers, and bat removal companies, to ensure the methods they use are both safe and humane.

@northtexasgivingday is tomorrow! 

This year we are raising money to complete the Bat World Learning Center, which will be massively beneficial for bats all across the globe! Along with giving us a space to host our bat rehabilitation workshops, it will allow us to once again provide educational programs for both adults and school children. We will also be able to offer training to animal control officers, and bat removal companies, to ensure the methods they use are both safe and humane. 

For those who may be unaware, bat rehabilitation workshops did not exist prior to Bat World Bootcamp, which was created in 1997. We have expanded those workshops to now include Zoom programs and weekend workshops, training over 800 people to date. This includes animal care professionals, biologists, conservation scientists, bat rehabilitators and teachers from every bat-inhabited continent in the world  This past summer, we hosted interns who came everywhere from Alaska to the UK. We now have a waiting list for next summer. The Learning Center will be invaluable to teaching others how to properly care for bats, and they can teach other rescuers in their part of the world, saving thousands of bats around the globe in the process. 

If you'd like to donate to this project, please follow the link below, or see our story. Thank you so much for sharing, and for anything you can give!

Interested in joining one of our tiny gentleman for a late lunch break? 😋 

This is an elderly Jamaican fruit bat, and one of over 600 rescued bats that call the sanctuary home. If you enjoy this content, please consider helping us fund their care by donating! We are a 501c3 non-profit organization, and we run solely on public funding.

Happy #Baturday from Bear the Mexican freetail! 😁

Bear is a recent local rescue, and after just a few days of some good R&R he is feeling so much better! We are so happy to see his recovery. It won’t be long before will need released to take flight once again and reclaim his wild heritage, but not before leaving a mark on all of our hearts. ❤️
