Bat Carcass Detection

Bats (Chiroptera) are the only flying mammals and there are more than 1.400 different species worldwide most of them strongly protected, while in Greece we host more than 35 species. Bats role in biodiversity is significant since they are very sensitive to environment and nutritional adjustments making them a unique monitoring way of wildlife conservation and environmental protection. Apart from a fascinating mammal, bats practically contribute to our society’s well being by pollinating plants as well as regulating pest populations. Nose for a Cause organization dogs are specialized in indicating various species of chiroptera carcasses in order to help scientists monitor bat death rates in a given area, cause of death, nutritional habits and surveys around their species. The usual application of our services contribute to science and organizations surveys about wind farms and their impact on bat populations. Bats are threatened by the enormous parts of a wind generator since their flight zone is interrupted by the moving wings of the structure. The cause of bats death or heavy traumas is the impact on the moving wings during their flight.
