Bats pollinate banana, durian and agave (from which all tequila and mezcal is made) just to name a few of the hundreds. Insect eating bats eat them by the literal tons, and seed dispersers regenerate forests unlike any other creature. Here Merlin Tuttle scrapes the surface of amazing world of bats.

Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation (MTBC) was founded by Dr. Merlin Tuttle. He has studied and photographed bats worldwide for more than 60 years. He founded and led Bat Conservation International (BCI) for 30 years, then left BCI in 2009 and founded MTBC. Join at www.MerlinTuttle.org!
Merlin’s unique photography and communication first led to global appreciation of bats as safe, invaluable, even cute, and likable. No one has better demonstrated the power of combining captivating photos with sound science to win friends instead of battles for bats. Nor has anyone better demonstrated how conservation can benefit humans. Merlin’s legendary photos and experience provide invaluable guidance and inspiration that must be preserved and shared for future generations.
MTBC is now Merlin’s sole source of support, both for his ongoing conservation efforts and for preservation of his priceless photo collection and legacy resources.
