Lubee Bat Conservancy Charity Profile

Lubee Bat Conservancy is an international non-profit organization dedicated to protecting biological diversity through the conservation of fruit bats. We focus our efforts on plant-visiting “fruit and nectar” bats because they are vulnerable to extinction yet vital to the world’s rainforests and deserts and to the economies of developing countries. By protecting these bats we are working to conserve the more than 145 genera of plants that depend on them for pollination and seed dispersal; the countless organisms that depend on those plants for food and shelter; and ultimately all people that depend on healthy ecosystems.

Lubee Bat Conservancy Volunteer Information

Bats are listed as a rabies vector species in the United States, and volunteers working at the Lubee Bat Conservancy will have separate jobs based on whether they have been vaccinated for rabies or not. Lubee asks volunteers to work a minimum of 16 hours per month, and accepts volunteers every day of the week.
