Oregon Zoo - Bat Mural

Bats live on every continent except Antarctica and play an important role by eating insects, pollinating plants and dispersing seeds. While habitat loss threatens bats worldwide, other pressures vary regionally. In North America, a fungal disease called White-nose Syndrome has killed nearly six million bats since 2006. Pesticides have also been linked to weakened immune systems in bats, making them more susceptible to diseases. In Southeast Asia and Oceania, deforestation and bush meat hunting have driven some species close to extinction. As bats lose natural habitat, people can help by providing artificial roosting sites. A properly designed, constructed and located bat house can provide a warm place for female bats to raise their babies, and can offer an alternative roost when bats are "evicted" from human houses.
