Going to bat

A Sustainability Ambassador project to improve biodiversity literacy around Concordia, advocate for an overlooked underdog, and ameliorate the campus that we occupy.

Bats are a keystone species; important indicators of the health of an ecosystem. They are sensitive to environmental change. They can play an important role in controlling insect populations, pollination, and they are the only mammals that can fly! However, do you know they are struggling to live around us in an urban ecosystem even at  both campuses while helping Loyola’s farmers in urban agriculture?

This workshop aims to create dialogue and awareness about bats around Concordia, advocate for an overlooked underdog, and ameliorate the campus that we occupy. This event will give you an opportunity to identify the importance of local bats around concordia and resolve your myths about bats and to identify your collaborative role in bat conservation.The workshop will conduct one information session that will provide general information (types, habitats, life cycle, myths, food source, challenges) about bats in Quebec together with an interactive knowledge testing session in which winners receive an unforgettable gift!
