The work of demystifying bats for society in general is necessary because these animals are important for natural ecosystems and urban spaces. There are various global outreach initiatives that engage with the population in more relaxed environments, such as the city's night bars. Our laboratory conducts outreach work with bats every year, thereby fulfilling an important stage of research activities, which is to provide quality scientific information to the population. Generally, in all our actions, there is always a lot of engagement from people who are keen to learn more about bats, which makes our university extension activity a success
