Bats across North America are in decline, scientists across the globe strive to protect them. Our agency actively collaborates with federal, state and non-governmental partners to conserve and restore listed bat species. The full be accessed on YouTube. 

Bats are the only mammals capable of flight! Vona Kuczynska (USbet365����ios) and Jordan Meyer (MDC) share what makes bats unique, their adaptations for flying and the conservation status of bats in Missouri.

Not all bats hibernate or live in caves! Kris Budd (USbet365����ios) describes what makes good bat habitat, where bats live and why we should let sleeping bats hang.

White-nose syndrome is one of the biggest conservation threats to bats in North America. Gabriela Wolf-Gonzalez (USbet365����ios) and Jordan Meyer (MDC) describe the impacts of this deadly fungal disease and the collaborative efforts to protect cave-dwelling bats by studying the disease, minimizing the spread of the pathogen and developing a cure.

Working together to protect Missouri's bats

To study a bat, you often have to catch one; to catch a bat, you must think like a bat! Vona Kuczynska (USbet365����ios) explains the importance of studying bats and their habitats. She shows us how biologists “catch” bats and collect information about bat health during a summer mist-net survey.

Many bat species have declined over the last few decades. Bats that were once common have now become incredibly rare. Eric Lemons (USACE) shares his experience of studying bats and how it’s changed over the years. He explains the importance of partnerships to study, preserve and restore habitats for bats and other native wildlife.
