What is NABat?
The North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) is a continent-wide effort to gather and aggregate data about bats. NABat has developed standardized protocols for acoustic surveys, summer roost counts, and winter hibernacula counts, as well as a sampling framework so that the results of those surveys can be brought together to assess changes in bat populations at local, regional, and range-wide scales.

How to get involved
Our partners are state and federal agencies, tribes, non-profits, consultants, universities, and concerned and passionate citizens. We help coordinate and unify their efforts to monitor bats and contribute to NABat. Some perform surveys, some offer to share equipment and knowledge, others support the Hub financially.
