Bats don’t have an easy life. Hedges are disappearing and old buildings are being renovated, leaving the animals with nowhere to take shelter. Light pollution and the decline in insect populations are also taking a toll on them.
If you find an injured or exhausted bat, the first thing to do is contact the Stiftung Fledermausschutz 079 330 60 60. Experts answer the phone there and can immediately provide initial advice; most importantly, they know which rescue center is best suited for the specific case and where there are currently available spots.
One of these care centers is located at the Zurich Wilderness Park. The emergency care center for bats at Wildlifepark Langenberg was established in 2022. Here, exhausted and injured animals are examined and cared for. In a special aviary, the bats practice flying before being released back into the wild.
Your donation will be used to provide food and medical care for the animals. In addition, a team of specially trained animal caretakers is needed to ensure the daily care of the bats.

The majority of native bat species are endangered or even critically endangered. By operating an emergency care center for bats, the Zurich Wildlife Park supports these fascinating native mammals.
