Part of the conservation process to disrupt certain myths and beliefs that exist about animals that are critically important. Among the animals that are perceived negatively by society are the bats. The bats play an important role in maintaining ecosystems and levels as indicators of habitat disruption, because they are considered good material for studies on diversity. However society has little opportunity to observe the behavior and biology of bats, due to the fact that most of the population live in cities and do not have any direct contact with wildlife, apart from of information about it. The main objective of this study was to investigate the perception of people of three communities located in the neighborhood of a biological reserve about bats, analyze the resident biodiversity of these animals and start work to raise awareness and conservation in the community. The study was conducted in Guaribas Biological Reserve, located in rural communities around the cities of Mamanguape and Rio Tinto, Paraiba, Brazil, in two major fragments, with the presence of human occupation. To inventory the fauna of bats use mist nets placed in habitats Woods, region Board and communities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in association with the distribution of explanatory booklet to clarify questions and information about the importance of bats. The most abundant species in the areas of village and REBIO corresponds to Phyllostomidae family. Could be seen that most of the population has a negative image about the bats, and unaware of their importance in the ambience. However, they have some knowledge of their biology, even in brief, and certain load of aggregate cultural concepts. This knowledge is directly linked to frugivorous characteristic of these animals.
