Description
Bats in the northeastern US are in serious decline due to the rapid spread of a disease called white nose syndrome. Recent surveys indicate that populations of a threatened species are still holding on in the Cape Cod and Islands area, despite dramatic declines elsewhere in the country. Learn more about these fascinating creatures and threats facing them, and what you can do to help bat conservation. Talk to researchers about ongoing survey efforts, and get hands-on with practical demonstrations of field survey equipment.
