Panorama Nyctalus - Helping bats injured in the city return to flight

09-04-2009 15:08 | Jan Velinger

Nyctalus is a chapter of the Czech Union for Nature Conservation made up of young zoologists and specialists, focussing on the plight of bats injured in Czech towns and cities. Every year dozens of the creatures are retrieved in poor condition, sometimes having suffered cruelly at the hands of humans. One example: in February workers near Prague killed hundreds of the creatures uncovered in pre-fab apartment buildings. On the other hand, a good number were saved by Nyctalus and some bats will be released this Thursday in Prague’s Stromovka Park.
