A bat signal has gone up in search of people who want to help track the nocturnal flying mammals in B.C., in the name of science and conservation.
The BC Community Bat Program is looking for volunteers to count bats at local roost sites around the capital region starting in June.
The fungal disease has been slowly making its way across Canada and is fatal for bats, but does not seem to affect other animals or people. "By testing the guano, we have not found it on Vancouver Island yet. But, unfortunately, this year it was found in British Columbia," she said.A common species of bat found in buildings and bat boxes is the Little Brown Myotis. Unfortunately, it is endangered in Canada due to white-nose syndrome.Results from the Bat Count data may help prioritize areas in B.C.
According to the BC Annual Bat Count, the evening monitoring is easy, fun, and safe, not to mention vital for monitoring bat populations.
