<strong>EUROBATS</strong><br />

<strong>1991</strong>-<strong>2006.</strong> <strong>EUROBATS</strong> <strong>celebrates</strong><br />

<strong>its</strong> 1 th <strong>anniversary</strong>.<br />

<strong>EUROBATS</strong> Publication Series, No 1<br />

In publishing this book <strong>EUROBATS</strong> proudly<br />

<strong>celebrates</strong> 1 years since the Agreement<br />

on the Conservation of Populations of European<br />

Bats was signed in <strong>1991</strong>. We believe<br />

that the <strong>EUROBATS</strong> Anniversary represents<br />

the success of the member states to<br />

co-operate within the Agreement, as well<br />

as a milestone in the history of bat conservation<br />

in Europe.<br />

The work of countries across Europe in studying<br />

bats and improving our knowledge<br />

about their ecological value is crucial, not<br />

only because bats are an essential component<br />

of the biodiversity of Europe, but they<br />

also represent one of the best natural indicators<br />

of the health of an ecosystem.<br />

We hope this publication will give an insight<br />

into the substantial progress recent<br />

generations of bat researchers have made<br />

in the area of bat research across the geographical<br />

range of <strong>EUROBATS</strong>.<br />

This publication was prepared and<br />

printed with funding from UNEP.<br />
