In this episode, we’re thrilled to introduce Susie Kaplar, a passionate bat rehabilitator on a mission to save these misunderstood creatures and educate the world about their critical role in our environment.
Bats are nature's unsung heroes, playing a vital role in organic farming by acting as natural pest controllers. Discover how they protect crops by devouring harmful insects, reduce the need for chemical pesticides, and help farmers grow sustainably—all while supporting healthier ecosystems and food systems.
Susie shares her inspiring journey, from rescuing and rehabilitating injured bats to advocating for their protection and educating communities about their indispensable contributions to ecological balance. You'll also get to meet some of her adorable bat friends and hear about the challenges and triumphs of her work.
🌿 Why care about bats?
✔️ They naturally reduce pests, cutting down on pesticide use.
✔️ They control mosquitoes, lowering the spread of diseases like West Nile.
✔️ They are essential to maintaining a healthy ecosystem, yet their populations are at risk.
🐾 Beyond her work with bats, Susie also volunteers at animal shelters and zoos, proving that one person truly can make a difference.
