In addition to rescue and rehabilitation of flying-foxes and microbats, Bat Rescue Inc. undertakes many other activities related to their welfare, such as:
- conservation activities
- education and public promotion
- instigation of and active participation in vegetation management and colony habitat restoration
- hazard reduction initiatives (i.e. barbed wire, fruit tree netting, electrocution)
Since our first project in 2004 when Bat Rescue co-ordinated an emergency airlift operation for 90 tick paralysis orphans from Far North Queensland, a number of major projects have been undertaken - often in partnership with other organisations.
Our reputation as a group whose vision and effort goes beyond simply being carers has been well and truly established.
