Adopt a bat
A symbolic way to protect the guardians of the night
Did you know that a single bat can eat thousands of insects in just one night? These small flying mammals play a vital role in maintaining ecosystems and supporting agriculture, yet they continue to be unfairly feared and overlooked.
With the “Adopt a Bat” program, you can contribute directly to the protection of these fascinating species in Portugal — in a symbolic, educational, and meaningful way.
What does it mean to adopt a bat?
Adopting a bat is a symbolic gesture: you won’t be taking the animal home, but you will be supporting the work of the Morcegos.pt Association in the field — from protecting shelters and habitats to environmental education and scientific research.
What you receive with your adoption:
🦇 A personalized adoption certificate
📘 An information sheet about the adopted species
📸 A photo of the bat or represented colony
📰 A newsletter with updates and fun facts about bats
The adoption requires a symbolic contribution, starting at €15, and can be made in your name or offered as a unique and eco-friendly gift.
