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. Attracting bats to your property can help keep mosquito and garden pest populations in check! support us with a Donation here! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/EveBatStudios Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab蝙蝠遍布除南极洲以外的所有大陆，它们通过捕食昆虫、为植物传粉以及传播种子，发挥着至关重要的生态作用。尽管全球范围内的蝙蝠均面临栖息地丧失的威胁，但其他区域性威胁则因地域而异。在北美，自2006年以来，一种名为白鼻综合征（White-nose Syndrome）的真菌类疾病已导致近600万只蝙蝠死亡。农药也被证实会损伤蝙蝠的免疫系统，使其更易感染各类疾病。在东南亚与大洋洲地区，森林砍伐与野味捕猎已致使部分蝙蝠物种濒临灭绝。 随着蝙蝠自然栖息地的不断流失，人类可通过搭建人工栖息位点为其提供帮助。设计合理、建造规范且选址恰当的蝙蝠屋，既能为雌性蝙蝠提供温暖的抚育幼崽的场所，也能在蝙蝠从人类居所被驱逐时，为其提供替代栖息点。将蝙蝠吸引至自家院落，可有效控制蚊虫与园艺害虫的种群数量！ 请在此捐赠支持我们！https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/EveBatStudios 数据来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
