BAT WEEK OCTOBER 24 - 31

In 2018, we introduced the Celebrating Bats Cookbook that contained recipes inspired by bat-dependent foods.

Now our Bat Week partners from South America, Central America and North America have added to that recipe collection: click on the savory dishes or the sweet treats and drinks below and learn how each contains ingredients that are bat pollinated, bat-protected or find out how bats disperse the seeds of the plants used each recipe.

You may also learn about different cultures, or different bats. When you make these tasty treats,  or create one of your own with bat-dependent ingredients, don’t forget to tell others what you’ve learned or post a photo to social media and share the message: people need BATS in their ecosystems to eat pests, pollinate plants and disperse seeds. Let’s celebrate bats together.
