我們數蝙蝠去 看看蝙蝠朋友是否在我們身邊

2014 Let's count the bats!

生活中其實有許多的生物與我們相伴

牠們提供了我們在日常生活上各個層面的無數功能We are surrounded by lots of different creatures which offer numerous functions in all aspects of our daily lives. 繁忙的工商生活 使我們遠離自然並且忽略了生物多樣性The busy modern lifestyle keeps us away from the nature and blind to biodiversity.當閒暇之餘 有機會走進大自然 發現各式各樣的植物及動物時 就會覺得有牠們相伴真是一件美好的事情However, whenever we have a chance to walk into the wild field at leisure time, we certainly feel that it is really fantastic to see various kinds of plants and animals around. 蝙蝠是在我們最容易遇見的野生哺乳動物之一

Bats are one of the most commonly seen wild mammals in Taiwan.

因為牠的晝伏夜出讓生活在都市裡的我們更容易忘了牠的存在

Being the nocturnal species, they are more easily ignored by people in the cities.

一隻生活在我們周遭的東亞家蝠一個晚上可以吃掉一千隻以上的蚊蟲

A Japanese house bat can eat thousands of mosquitos and bugs in one night.

你可以想像失去牠之後我們的生活將可能受到的衝擊?

Can you imagine the impact on our daily lives when losing them?

你有多久因為繁忙而沒有好好欣賞夕陽那幻化般的彩色天空

How long have you not being able to admire the beauty of the sunset due to your busy life?

讓我們在生物多樣性日(5/21或5/22任選)欣賞夕陽去

這也是蝙蝠活動的時候

來數數看有多少蝙蝠飛翔在天空中!

At dusk, it is also the time for bats to come out. So, let's go for the sunset on the Biodiversity Day (5/21 or 5/22) and count the numbers of flying bats in the skies!

這次就從你周圍的環境來發現蝙蝠的存在做為開始

We will start from discovering the existence of bats in our surroundings this time.

爾後每年3月、6月、9月、12月的中旬

到你最容易看到天空的地方

無論是陽台、頂樓、公園、校園或海濱

選擇個好天氣的傍晚在6:00~7:00間

去看看我們的蝙蝠朋友們在不在 And in the following Biodiversity Days in every three months, we will choose a place with easy access to the sky, whatever a balcony, the rooftop, the park, or the beach, to check if our bat friends are still around. It will be between 6 and 7pm on the days with good weather.

不需要任何特殊的裝備

也不需要辨識是哪一種蝙蝠(當然如果你可以那更好) You don't need any special equipments and you don't have to recognize them by name (of course it would be great if you can).

將你發現的資料回傳，就可以跟大家一起分享，在不同的天空下同樣飛翔的蝙蝠。

Just upload your discoveries and share with everybody about the flying bats under different backgrounds.
