Tigga recently presented at the weekly PEEC seminar, where she gave a deep dive into the Global Union of Bat Diversity Networks (GBatNet). Her talk, “Working Together for Sustainable Bat Diversity in a Changing World,” explored how the network got started, what it’s working toward, and how it continues to grow.

She walked through the development of GBatNet’s working groups and highlighted its focus on supporting the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers. More broadly, her talk emphasized why strong, collaborative research networks are so important for conserving bat diversity in the face of global change!
