Bat conservation in Nepal: The creepy characterisation of this beautiful animal needs to stop urgently

Bats are one of the most fascinating creatures in our environment. However, their creepy characterisation in many parts of the world , including Nepal, has made bat conservation challenges.

Bats are presumed to bring bad luck mostly around the Indian subcontinent and the appearance of bats in homes is believed to mark the beginning of evil events. Moreover, when bats hit the windows, it signals rain, they say. The same superstitions are prevalent in Nepal also.
