Shhh, the baby is sleeping!

The births of bats started a few weeks ago. Until the end of July, it is particularly important to avoid disturbance in their nurseries, as disturbance can lead to newborns falling on the floor of the shelter and their death.

During this period, many other outdoor activities await us, such as exploring and studying caves at high altitudes, which are not suitable for nurseries.

The LIFE GRECABAT team has prepared a list of important sanctuaries for bats and the seasons when visiting them should be avoided: https://www.lifegrecabat.eu/en/news-articles/296  
We remind you that disturbing the colonies (especially at this time) without permission from the Ministry of Environment and Energy and informing the local Management Units of Protected Areas (NECCA) is an illegal act and that outdoor activities are recognized as potentially harmful to wildlife.
