We had the absolute privilege of sitting down in studio with the world’s foremost bat biologist and conservationist, Dr. Merlin Tuttle, and learning about his adventures as the Real Batman. Dr. Tuttle has dedicated his life to preserving these misunderstood mammals, and teaching people about how important they truly are to our daily lives.

Dr. Merlin Tuttle, Founder and Executive Director of Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation
Dr. Merlin Tuttle:
Founder and Executive Director of Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation
Merlin started his bat career as a teenager and has been a key force in changing the way the world perceives bats. He has studied and photographed hundreds of species of bats on every continent where they live. He founded and led Bat Conservation International for nearly 30 years, left in 2009, and founded Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation in 2014, with his wife, Paula Tuttle. Merlin is comfortable crawling deep into caves, lugging equipment through tropical jungles, or standing on a stage introducing the world to the Secret Lives of Bats.
Winning friends, not battles.
Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation (MTBC) was founded by Dr. Merlin Tuttle. He has studied and photographed bats worldwide for more than 60 years. Merlin’s unique photography and communication first led to global appreciation of bats as safe, invaluable, even cute, and likable. No one has better demonstrated the power of combining captivating photos with sound science to win friends instead of battles for bats. Nor has anyone better demonstrated how conservation can benefit humans. Merlin’s legendary photos and experience provide invaluable guidance and inspiration that must be preserved and shared for future generations. He founded and led Bat Conservation International (BCI) for 30 years, then left BCI in 2009 and founded MTBC. MTBC is now Merlin’s sole source of support, both for his ongoing conservation efforts and for preservation of his priceless photo collection and legacy resources.
