Adrià López-Baucells completed his PhD at the University of Lisbon in 2018. During his doctorate, he studied the effects of Amazonian rainforest fragmentation on tropical bats using autonomous ultrasound detectors. He has lately been focused on the ‘soundscape’ exploration (the landscape of sounds that exist in nature) in order to promote sustainable land use. Nonetheless, his main area of interest has always been bat ecology and conservation worldwide, particularly with the most severely threatened species and habitats. He started working with bats at the Natural Science Museum of Granollers (Catalonia) in 2005, where he met his first mentors, who rapidly introduced him to the bat world. Since then, he has collaborated on numerous international bat conservation projects shaping his scientific knowledge and background. As a bat researcher, he has always been determined to find applied, clear solutions to the current threats that bats are seriously facing all over the world. After 5 years of bat research in Europe, in 2010, he concluded his BSc with a final project on bats in Colombia, his first contact with Neotropical species. Afterwards, he jumped to Sydney (Australia) to carry out his MSc thesis studying competitive behaviour between flying foxes. And more recently, he has also joined quite a few bat-related expeditions in North Africa, Kenya and Madagascar, where he has finally become a National Geographic Explorer. As a National Geographic Explorer, together with a pioneering interdisciplinary team, he is establishing a new project based in Madagascar, one of the poorest countries in the world, totally dependent of subsistence rice agriculture, with big problems of harvest loss, and heavily threatened endemic bat populations due to the vast deforestation. Because bats are known to be excellent pest controllers, he will work to assess the effectiveness of bats as pest suppressors in rural areas using bat boxes and field experiments while promoting bat conservation amongst local villagers and farmers. In parallel, and based in the Natural Science Museum of Granollers, he is leading a rising bat research group, including supervising international MSc and PhD students and coordinating the bat monitoring program in Catalonia (www.batmonitoring.org).
