NABat works to do the following:
NABat works to do the following:
Bring together an extensive network of partners from the US, Canada and Mexico
Implement standardized protocols to build a robust and statistically sound pool of data
Use the data to assess the status and trends of North American bats at local, regional and range-wide scales
Why it matters:
Why it matters:
North American bat populations face threats:
Habitat loss and fragmentation
White-nose syndrome
Wind energy development
Scientists and managers need to act:
Scientists and managers need to act:
Gather baseline knowledge on the distribution and abundance of bats across the continent
Apply this baseline knowledge to evaluate the impacts of the threats to bats
Set conservation priorities and evaluate effectiveness of management actions
Check out the NABat Project Review which shows you a unique map of the bat acoustic routes in NC. Screenshots of the map are below. By clicking on a blue square which represents a route, you can see information on the route from Han in previous years. If you scroll down on the pop up, it will list the potential bat species for that area so you can get an idea of what you might hear on your route. Click here to view this map and website.
