Mission
Bat Conservation International (BCI), based in Austin, Texas, works to conserve the world's bats and their ecosystems in order to ensure a healthy planet. BCI was founded in 1982, as scientists around the world became concerned that bats essential to the balance of nature and human economies were in alarming decline. BCI's conservation efforts have resulted in permanent protection for a majority of North America's most important remaining bat caves, saved millions of bats from being accidentally buried during mine safety closures, and led to the establishment of the first national park in U.S. history to protect a tropical rain forest. BCI's many educational achievements include major television documentaries, such as The Secret World of Bats, and award-winning exhibits.
