The Invisible Mammal

Earley Environmental Group & the bat group are hosting a screening of the feature film The Invisible Mammal, a beautifully filmed multi-stranded story of bat conservation in the USA, but with relevance to what we are doing here in the UK. The event is free to attend at the University of Reading but we ask you to book a place via Eventbrite.

Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the sixth mass extinction, filmmaker Kristin Tièche explores the crucial roles that bats play in our shared environment, and how a team of women bat scientists set out to save a North American bat species from a deadly fungal disease called white-nose syndrome (WNS) to create a better future for both bats and humans.

At once a nature film, a science film, and a character-driven adventure film, The Invisible Mammal will immerse you in the world of bats and forever change the way you feel about these amazing little creatures.

Members of the bat group will be on hand to answer questions about bat conservation in the UK following the screening.
