She also founded an Urban Wildlife Club, which will enable students to get involved with Bat Crazy and learn about the value of diversity and inclusion in urban wildlife conservation and engagement.“My goal is that Bat Crazy will have a beneficial impact on humanity and enact positive social change around preserving historically uncharismatic animals like bats. Those in the community will feel like they are making a difference to support biodiversity and will realize that the coupling of human and wildlife values at urban cores has significant value to the future of environmental protection,” she said.
