Assistant – Educator at the Brijuni Bat Nights


Bats don’t get tangled in people’s hair – surely you must know this! But you may not know that they are among the most endangered animal species. Join us on Brijuni where as many as 14 species of these animals have found their sanctuary. Learn something new, have fun and contribute to rescuing and protecting them. You will help us prepare the program, educational material, games and promote the traditional Brijuni “Bat nights” during which you will inform and educate visitors about their importance for the ecosystem stability, as well as the dangers facing them.

Come and help us care for these tiny, likable and useful flyers!
