Bat World Sanctuary

We believe that great animal rescue organizations are judged not just by the scale of the work that they do, but by the impact that work has on the lives of the animals they rescue. We actively work with zoos, researchers and animal shelters to offer an alternative to death. Many of the bats in our care have lived terrible lives before coming to us and we provide the security and privacy they need to recuperate from their previous existence. We firmly believe that all living beings exist for their own reasons and have a right to a peaceful and happy life, just as humans do.


On that same note, the staff at Bat World Sanctuary follows a plant based diet and we do not serve animal-derived foods at events. Over 98% of the animals that suffer and die at the hands of humans are farmed animals, and animal agriculture is one of the leading threats to wildlife habitat. It is one of the largest sources of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, causes habitat fragmentation and destruction, results in loss of biodiversity and species extinction, wastes huge amounts of water, and pollutes air and waterways for wildlife.
