 Habitat Conservation: Endangered Bats Need Our Help

Bats are amazing nocturnal, echolocating, flying mammals that provide essential natural services such as plant pollination, seed dispersal and insect control. Unfortunately, bat populations are declining due to disease and habitat loss. When a development project puts endangered and threatened bat habitat at risk, compensatory mitigation is required to offset those impacts. Learn how we use unique solutions and partnerships to provide the best conservation benefits for critical bat species across the country.
