WORLDbytes has released this filmed report as a challenge to Western campaigners organising World Malaria Day commemorations. The report criticises campaigners fixation with bed nets. As African volunteer Helder Da Costa says: It s the West s ban on DDT that has killed people and is killing people. Telling the truth would be a start and boat loads of DDT not bed nets would make a huge impact. Ben Hoyte explains: When I was a kid in Barbados I had to go to bed early under a net until they started spraying; now I don t have to spend half my life in bed and I don t see why anyone else should have to either. Director Ceri Dingle says: There is something quite nauseating about a campaign which treats Africa as a continent of little children that should go to bed early under a charity veil, otherwise known as a bed net. It is sadly consistent with Western low horizons, environmental prejudice and patronising, guilt inspired giving. If campaigners were serious about the eradication of malaria, pesticides would be number one on the agenda. The WORLDbytes online channel is available at www.worldbytes.org

Winged mammals of the darkness vacuum the night sky, each gliding body consuming hundreds and hundreds of insects a night. Foraging all night long, they return to their roosts before sun-up. And then they retire hanging upside down, shrouding themselves from the day by wrapping leathery wings around their tiny bodies. There are almost one thousand species of these nocturnal flying mammals we call bats. Yet for all their numbers, bats are the most misunderstood of all creatures. Bat World Sanctuary in Mineral Wells, Texas, and its founder Amanda Lollar, are out to change the bad rap bats have gotten in the past. At Bat World Sanctuary, not only is Amanda dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of bats, but also to educating the public on the importance of bats in our ecosystems. Fed so many untrue myths about bats, many people fear them and regard them as nothing more than flying rodents mice and rats with wings. It took one little bat named Sunshine, to teach Amanda Lollar how wrong that is.
