Can one undertake a round-the-world trip with conservation
uppermost in the mind? This is exactly what Nils Bouillard sought
to do in 2019, adapting a popular concept in birding known as the
'big year' and focusing instead on bats. This had never been done
before and so became the ideal platform to spotlight countless
conservation projects across the globe. In this engaging and
inspiring account we follow Nils on his adventures – along the
way discovering the extraordinary diversity of bat appearances and
behaviour, and learning how we might help to protect these
fascinating creatures. During his itinerary covering just shy of 30
countries, Nils was lucky enough to encounter no fewer than 400 bat
species. But beyond the impressive list, Big Bat Year is a
passionate tale about the people who are protecting bats all over
the world, the amazing life of these animals and the unique and
doughty journey it required to set a world record. Going off the
beaten path isn’t difficult when it comes to bat watching,
offering the chance for genuine exploration and even discovery –
as evidenced by the important discovery of a species new to science
while visiting Southeast Asia. This book will appeal to any nature
enthusiast, regardless of whether you enjoy chasing new species.
