OBJECTIVES OF CCINSA • Encourage and promote the study of bats (Volant [flying] mammals) of South Asia, by organizing and running a network of all specialists, providing them useful services. • Maintain a checklist and database – as complete and correct as possible – of bats of South Asia providing local, national and regional information to be shared with important national and international agencies and organizations. • Catalyse, organize, conduct and follow-‐up conservation assessment and other workshops and training exercises for bat specialists of South Asia and public education projects as appropriate, nationally or regionally. • Follow up such workshops with recommendations to local, state, national and regional wildlife authorities for protection of threatened species of bats and promotion of further studies of Data Deficient species (ongoing but much needs to be done). • Undertake a set of specific “tasks” utilizing the information from the 1997 BCPP Conservation Assessment and Management Plan (C.A.M.P.) workshop and the 2000 <strong>Chiroptera</strong> CAMP workshop to further enhance our knowledge of bat status in South Asia. • Research and disseminate information about funding sources for field surveys. • Bring out a newsletter of current bat conservation, research, education news (several issues have been brought out and can be found on our website http://www.zooreach.org). • Prepare a Directory of bat specialists of South Asia for distribution to all network members. • Prepare educational materials on bats at different levels on for conveying to policy makers, politicians, and the public – all ages and languages. • Involve researchers in public education on bats by providing printed material and guidelines.

However, I have done not actual research on bats and my Ph.D. project is onamygdala electrophysiology. This application is a result of a project proposal on bats that I am working onas a part of examinations, I need to give in the Ph.D. program at NCBS. Although this is only interest andnot experience based, doing field work in bats is something that I hope to do, even though not as part ofmy Ph.D. thesis.

Resourcepartitioning between species living together in the same roost is another important and interesting areathat I would like to cover.Till date I have done a survey of the Andaman & Nicobar islands and have been able to identify 17species in the Andaman islands and 13 in the Nicobars.

The field work was carried out in six districts of central Punjab, Pakistan i.e.Hafizabad, Sheikhupura, Fasalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Okara. The ruined buildings of canalrest houses, built along all the major irrigation canals by the British rulers some 200 years ago, offer asecure roost to microchiropteran bats with water in their close proximity from where they can forageinsects. A large roost of megachiropteran bats is also reported to be present at Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore.Date joined: Jan-06

Testing the wildlife corridors hypothesis. Wildlife corridors have been widely promulgated by landmanagers in advance of formal proof of their value. Although the results of the first national bat habitatsurvey indicate the importance of linear landscape features and connection between the habitats in whichthey feed, reports of the use of vegetation corridors by wildlife including bats, lack statistical rigour. Thisproject involves automatic recording to test the hypothesis that bats move between occupied and vacanthabitats along vegetation corridors.
