<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 />
