Bat Conservation
Bat conservation focuses on protecting bat populations and their habitats. Bats play a crucial role in ecosystems by controlling insect populations, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds. Many bat species are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and diseases like White-nose syndrome, which has devastated populations in North America.
Efforts in bat conservation include habitat restoration, public education, and research on bat health and behavior. Organizations often work to create safe roosting sites and promote awareness about the benefits of bats. By conserving bats, we help maintain biodiversity and support healthy ecosystems.
