An innovative full-colour work about bats' biology, habits, and
history, and the bat conservation efforts of young people around the
world, now also available in paperback!
From the award-winning author of No Shelter Here: Making the World a
Kinder Place for Dogs and Cat Champions: Caring for our Feline
Friends comes an inspiring book about bats, their importance to a wide
range of ecosystems, and the young "bat citizens" who are engaged in
conservation efforts around the world.
In Bat Citizens: Defending the Ninjas of the Night, celebrated animal
activist and biologist Rob Laidlaw sheds light on these famously shadowy
mammals, from their habits and habitats to their importance for
maintaining biodiversity. Bat biology is explored alongside the history
of human-bat relations, with facts to fascinate even the most nervous
reader.
Spotlight features on "Bat Citizens" make this an empowering book for
children seeking their own expressions of global citizenship. With
informational sidebars, colour photographs, a glossary and index, and a
center-gatefold bat illustration, Bat Citizens is a book that will
both instruct and inspire.
