I am honored to announce that I have been appointed as the new Co-Chair of the IUCN’s Bat Specialist Group. I am taking over from Professor Paul Racey, who served the group for nearly 30 years!
My responsibility is for the Old World bats and I will be serving alongside Professor Rodrigo Medellin who continues as the New World Chair.
The success of the SEABCRU was undoubtedly a major factor in my appointment, so I want to thank everyone for all their efforts and contributions over the past few years.
Finally many thanks to Paul for all his hard work and the inspiration that he has been to so many of us!
