"Lubee was founded in 1989 as a conservation, breeding and research center for endangered animals. After three years, the center narrowed its focus to Old World fruit bats that are still cared for to this day.

Lubee is the ONLY bat conservation organization in the world that houses endangered bats while maintaining active conservation and education programs.

Lubee is the global leader in fruit bat care, husbandry, and medical management. Located in Gainesville, Florida, over 150 bats are housed on property, spending their days playing, socializing, and interacting with their roost mates. As a USDA registered and AZA certified related zoological institution, Lubee ensures that the animals and facilities are maintained to the highest ethical standards. Working with a team of conservation scientists, educators and zoological professionals around the world, Lubee has addressed diverse threats faced by endangered species. Field projects have been conducted in 25 countries and our education programs continue to inform the public about the critical relationship between bats, ecosystems and human health. With a focus on children and community engagement, our education programs in FL continue to reach over 30,000 people annually. Projects have included empowerment of women's groups, job creation, forest protection, and construction of schools in areas of critical need."
