Rachael Cooper-Bohannon was brought up in South Africa, & eventually ended up in Scotland where she founded the Bats Without Borders charity in 2013. Here we are delighted to be talking to Rachael about her life journey, including her academic work, her role within the 'Species On The Edge' project, & of course the Bats Without Borders story, an organisation which is contributing heavily to capacity building & bat conservation within Africa.
