Descritption

Bat banding may have a serious impact on bats since bands are permanent marks and, if incorrectly applied, may harm the study subjects.
The above mentioned institutions and organizations decided to collaborate to prepare a nationwide agreed administrative procedure and data collection protocol.
Such collaboration resulted in the technical document Azioni di conservazione, studio e gestione finalizzate alla tutela della chirotterofauna (Eurobats) - Relazione finale - Documento tecnico sull’inanellamento dei Chirotteri in Italia (da biblioteca). 

There you can find the procedure you have to follow to be allowed to band bats and a national database to record all information about banded bats.

For information, please see above for all contact details.
