The Bat Study and Conservation group of JapanThe Bat Study and Conservation group of Japan
The Bat Study and Conservation group of Japan(BSCJ) was established in 1992 by researchers who were concerned with the conservation of bats. The group initially consisted of 45 members, but we now have 356 members as of December 2010. We are devoted to bat conservation and research. We hold a bat festival every summer. We issue bat news twice a year and have published two books on bats. We raise money for bat conservation through donation and the sales of postcards and other itemes. We have also created guidelines for Bat Watching.
