The LIFE GRECABAT team, in cooperation with Management Body of Cyclades’ Protected Areas, the Naxos Island Wildlife Protection and the Municipality of Naxos and the Small Cyclades, is organizing an event celebrating the European Natura 2000 Day on Tuesday May 21, 2019 from 17:30 until 20:30, at the building of the Greek-French School of Ursulines, Naxos.

The abandoned mines of the Dadia National Park are among the most important bats' shelters in Greece. The LIFE-GRECABAT team visited them on March 7, 2019 to record the spring colonies.

For three days the LIFE-GRECABAT field team worked in the Cave of the Lakes, starting a systematic study of its fauna and making measurements to install an abiotic parameter monitoring system. The cave is known to date for its impressive decoration. It will soon be known as a unique ecosystem as well.

In the framework of LIFE-GRECABAT, the project team visited the Panagopoula drainage tunnels to document the presence of the bats. Seven species have been observed so far, some of them forming large summer colonies.
