abstract

The role of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), the Framework Convention on the Protection and Sustainable Development of the Carpathian, the Agreement on the Conservation of Populations of European Bats (EUROBATS), and the Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora in the conservation of Chiroptera is discussed. Resolutions, recommendations and guidelines adopted in the framework of international treaties and focused on different aspects of conservation, monitoring, research, ecology, and management of bats and their habitats, as well as the factors affecting bats such as climate change, renewable energy, forest management, remedial timber treatment, development of traffic infrastructure, fungal infections etc. are characterized.
