About the Social Business: Wings of the Night is a sustainable and responsible approach to combating malaria. Through collaboration with local NGOs and community leadership, local materials and craftmanship are used to construct large bat housing complexes near rural communities. The native bats roost near the village and predation from the bats help deplete the micro population of mosquitoes near the village. Guano is collected to be sold as a natural fertilizer. Beta test location completed in Sucusari, Peru March 2017. Partnering with OnePlanet, Wartburg College, The Resolution Project, Amazon Rainforest Workshops, Conapac, and Explorama Lodges.
