International Year of Caves and Karst
2021 is the International Year of Caves and Karst and the several countries that have Cave Animal of the Year programs are focussing on cave beetles as their 2021 cave animal. Have a look at their websites and see what cavers and speleologists are doing to try and promote the interesting but generally little-known world of cave beetles.
