Delhi Launches Field Guide on Local Bat Species During Bat Appreciation Day

Delhi observed Bat Appreciation Day with the launch of 'Bats of Delhi NCR,' a compact field guide documenting 12 of the 15 bat species in the city. Developed by WWF-India and partners, the guide details species identification, habitat, diet, and behavior. The launch included a guided 'Bat Walk' led by Rohit Chakravarty, where participants used bat detectors to study bats. Bats play vital ecological roles but face threats from habitat loss, urbanization, pesticide use, and misinformation, impacting their populations.
