What will you learn?
Bats in the eastern U.S. are experiencing significant declines due to disease, wind-turbines, and loss and fragmentation of their forested habitats related to urban development. Climate change may also impact their populations and distribution. U.S. Forest Service Research Ecologist Susan C. Loeb, will discuss the plight of different bat species as well as the results of recent studies on the effects of forest management and other disturbances on their populations and how forest management can be used to create habitat. Loeb will also discuss a new plan to monitor bat populations at local, regional, and continental scales that will assist managers and policy makers in developing better conservation and management strategies for these important species. learn more here...
