It’s #batnight. Cover your lights manually, use shielded or better switch them off. For lighting projects, adhere to #eurobats guidelines: https://www.eurobats.org/node/1563

Happy to be back to the advisory meeting of #unep #eurobats. Lots of things to resolve to protect a highly vulnerable taxon, namely bats. For example, unregulated erection and operation of wind turbines across #Europe. Thousands of #bats collide with and die at wind turbines in Europe. We lose important ecosystem players, which adds to the biodiversity crisis. We need to do better and curtail the operation of turbines at times of high bat activity.
