The Bat Scientists

Focusing on the crucial role of bats in ecosystems, the book highlights the dedication of Dr. Merlin Tuttle and his team at Bat Conservation International in studying these often-misunderstood creatures. As vital predators of night-flying insects, bats face significant threats, particularly from White-nose Syndrome, which devastates hibernating populations in North America. Tuttle and his colleagues are actively engaged in research and conservation efforts to combat this disease and protect bat species, showcasing their commitment to these essential mammals.
