Canadian Wildlife Federation: Pledge for Bats

Right now, eight of the 18 bat species in Canada are at risk of extinction as a direct result of human activity, but humans can also be the solution.

Take the pledge today and join a network of Canadians across the country who are helping their communities become Bat-friendly!

If you are a member of a Bat-friendly Community, your selections will be shared with your community’s governing body so that they know what work is being done for bats.

Important!

Note: A minimum of five actions must be selected for submission. For more information on each of these actions, check out the Act for Bats guide >

Help the Bats

The Little Brown Bat, the Tri-colored Bat, and the Northern Myotis are under serious threat.

Bat House in Your Backyard

Provide a roosting site for a female bat and her pup! The Canadian Wildlife Federation is here to guide you through every step. Begin by downloading these free DIY instructions. Building a bat house during these crucial months (April through June) will provide a roosting site for a female bat to have her pup. Bats only have one pup per year, so providing them safe haven is vital to their survival. Bats also make great neighbours; they help control insects through spring and summer.
