When the sun goes down, bats get to work! These incredible mammals play an important role in BC’s ecosystems, helping keep insect populations in check and supporting healthy habitats. BC is home to 15 bat species, each with unique characteristics and habitat needs. From forests and wetlands to caves and old buildings, bats rely on a variety of places to roost, raise their young, and find food. But bats face challenges, including habitat loss, disturbance of roosting sites, and the impacts of white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that has devastated bat populations in parts of North America. Protecting bat habitat helps these nocturnal neighbours continue doing what they do best. Whether it’s preserving mature trees, protecting important roosting sites, or learning more about the bats in your area, every action makes a difference. Want to help BC’s bats thrive? Learn more about bat conservation and discover how you can support these fascinating creatures! #HCTF #BatConservation #BCWildlife #WildlifeConservation #Biodiversity
