Equally important is educating the public so that over time the fears and misinformation that often guide people to harm bats will be replaced with knowledge appreciation and respect. Our ultimate goal is for people to be willing to peacefully coexist with bats. Mission The mission of Austin Bat Refuge is to promote respect for bats and their place in the environment through rehabilitation and release education and conflict resolution,. Vision Austin Bat Refuge envisions a future in which bats and humans can live in harmony and where bats that have adapted to urban areas as their habitat is increasingly lost are welcomed rather than reviled. BAT REHABILITATION We provided direct loving care for over 313 bats. Injured orphaned or displaced due to a variety of circumstances all were given the opportunity to heal recover and return to the wild in most cases. Bats that could not support themselves in the wild have a home with Austin Bat Refuge for the remainder of their lives. Each rescue is an educational opportunity for the people who find bats in trouble and for their families and is leveraged through our social media. We continued our quest to divert bats that have had no contact with people or pets from certain euthanasia by some county animal control agencies. 0 73388 EDUCATION We presented more than 27 programs about bats in 2020 most via distance learning due to COVID-19. This included programs for local schools and Master Naturalist chapters in Central Texas. We also consulted for Texas State University providing bat cage and bat care training for their wind energy acoustic deterrent study. 0 2900 CONFLICT RESOLUTION We consulted on issues involving bats in buildings via email and phone for individuals in homes and businesses. 0 2400 78688 X Dianne Odegard Executive Director Bat rehab 40 15080 0 0 Lee MacKenzie Refuge Manager Secretary Treas 40 15080 0 0 Jessica Cochran Board President 1 0 0 0 Katherine Kroll Board member Bat rehabilitator 5 0 0 0 Robin Roelofs Board member 1 0 0 0 Lisa Ramie Board member Bat rehabilitator 10 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false TX Robin S Roelofs 3055 N Chichicoi Ln Prescott AZ 86305 9287108234 false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 0 54027 100202 154229 0 0 0 54027 100202 154229 154229 0 0 2767 12195 0 14962 0 0 2767 66222 100202 169191 0.91157 0.78 0 0.00 X Part III, line 12 | S.No:, Year:, Description:| RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| supplies, $22618.00| internet tel communications, $3193.00| travel, $831.00| fundraising expenses, $3053.00| volunteer expenses, $249.00| bank fees & insurance, $1409.00| Part II, line 26 | Liabilities Name:, BOY Amount:, EOY Amount:| Accounts Payable, 0, $4732|
