This is truly an astounding study. People doubted there would be appreciable downstream costs to white nose syndrome because we couldn't see it. But intuitively it made sense that a horrific loss of such biologically important players as bats would have some kind of impact. Well here it is. This is why we want people to understand the connection between bats and agriculture. Farms are food; food is life. Bats help farms; bats save lives. ![]()

Please meet 2024-96! This little guy got tangled up with something and ended up trying to hide in the corner of a patio. He's got a pretty substantial hole in his wing and some other minor rips and tears. Thanks to one dedicated finder, some other helpful humans, three rehabilitators, two transporters on standby, and a pretty hefty car ride, this battered big brown juvenile is here with us. It's going to take him a while to recuperate, so he's probably here till spring. We are truly humbled by the effort a lot of people put in to get all 14 grams of 2024-96 into care.#everybatispreciousr#bigbrownbatss#batsofvirginia##batsneedfriendsbatsneedfriends
