Unnecessary or badly designed lighting is harmful to humans and wildlife, particularly nocturnal species like #bats, as well as wasting energy. Turn off your lights for #EarthHour www.earthhour.org
But also explore how to reduce light pollution all year round. www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/t...
Artwork of many bats flying together created using a macro photograph of an old corrugated metal fence covered in flaking paint and spots of rust. There are a few large dark bats overlaid and inter-mingled with much smaller bats some of which are dark and some light. The effect is a chaotic exodus of bats leaving their roost within the texture of urban decay.

In Ñuu Savi (Mixtec) and surrounding Mesoamerican cultures like the Zapotec, bat heads symbolize night, death, sacrifice, and the underworld. They are associated with caves—seen as portals to the spirit realm—and act as guardians, representing a connection to ancestors, agricultural protection by eating pests, and transformation. The Mixtec people are one of the oldest and most culturally rich Indigenous groups in southern Mexico. They call themselves Ñuu Savi, meaning People of the Rain in their language, reflecting their spiritual bond with nature and the weather that sustains their crops. Their homeland, known as the Mixteca region, stretches across the highlands of Oaxaca, Puebla, and Guerrero, with misty mountains, fertile valleys, and sacred mountain peaks that shape their identity. The Mixtec are remarkable artisans and storytellers. They create intricate gold jewelry, turquoise mosaics, and beautifully illustrated codices that record their myths and dynasties. Their ancient deerskin manuscripts preserve one of the most complete Indigenous histories in the Americas. Their artistry and craftsmanship were so advanced that Mixtec goldsmiths were highly sought after by other Mesoamerican kingdoms. Even after the Spanish conquest, the Mixtec held on to much of their identity. Their villages remain centers of weaving, pottery, and farming, and their language is still spoken by hundreds of thousands today. The Mixtec story, like the Zapotecs, is one of endurance. They’ve carried their traditions through centuries of change, keeping their rain-soaked mountains and ancestral ways alive in modern Mexico.

A landscape featuring a vast forest with a river snaking down the center towards rolling hills and a mountain range along the horizon. The sky is party cloudy. The face of a stylized spectral bat comes into face taking up half the picture to look up close at the viewer. With a smile on their face they say, "Hi!"

Left to right cuddle buddies: Hoover, Bopple, Trixie.
Hoover and Trixie are Mexican free-tailed bats and Bopple is a canyon bat. We often find them in snuggle piles even though they aren't all the same species.

Bats are such mysterious and fascinating creatures - I often see a Common Pipistrelle in the garden.
If you have a garden, adapt lighting to be more bat-friendly. “Low lighting that’s facing down is probably not going to disrupt bat species very much.”

New paper alert:
>80k nacelle-height recordings and stereo-thermal 3D tracks show that bats sing in the rotor-swept zone and circle turbine nacelles. We need smarter, species-sensitive curtailment that aligns both climate and biodiversity goals.
