A Nova Scotia non-profit is asking people to “adopt” a bat in a bid to educate Maritimers about a rare species, while supporting bat conservation.
The Nature Trust of Nova Scotia has launched the Adopt a Tri-coloured Bat initiative, in support of one of the smallest bat species in North America. The winged mammals only weigh about the weight of a Toonie but play a big role in the region’s ecosystems. “They’re a keystone species,” said Lucas Greville, a Mount Allison University professor and bat researcher. “They’re going to be eating and taking care of a lot of moths, beetles, general pests. So they’re something we really want to have around.”Maritime bat populations were devastated by white-nose syndrome in the early 2010s. The white fungus grows on the bats’ muzzles, wings, and ears during hibernation. The syndrome constantly wakes bats up during hibernation and depletes their resources.
