What’s Killing Bats?

Bats play an important role in our environment and our economy by preying on insects that destroy cash crops, by keeping mosquito populations in check, and by helping to pollinate trees. Now, bats are threatened by a mysterious disease called white-nose syndrome that’s marching across the US. As bat populations rapidly decrease, a coordinated national response has risen to fight the disease.
