Rimba along with Monash University Malaysia, University of Bristol, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Manamea Art Studio, Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Mandalay, Wildlife Conservation Society Indonesia Program, University College Sabah Foundation, and Kyoto University studied 60 different cultures from 24 countries across the Asia Pacific region, analysing citations of key articles, websites, local knowledge and information from those working on bat-related research.
