🦇🌿 In #Franklin, #NZ, a #community-led group called Finding Franklin Bats teaches landowners, #kids, and #Indigenous Māori volunteers to track critically #endangered #pekapeka (long-tailed #bats) using detectors, radio telemetry, and harp traps.
With just 180 volunteers and a small budget, they’re filling gaps left by underfunded #government #research, catching 100 bats this year alone.
