Creatures of the night, vampires, devils…? All about the bats!

Creatures of the night, vampires, devils. In our imagination, there is no other animal so linked to myths, legends and folklore as bats are. However, these protected species provide us essential services (one bat can catch up to 1,000 mosquitos in a single hour!), but their conservation is unfortunately at stake. Join our Creative Morning to discover how bats contribute to bring wilderness in our urban landscapes, and what can we do to help protect them with Dr. Laura Garzoli, researcher at the National Research Council of Italy
