Bats and agave have a mutualistic relationship! Pregnant bats need the sweet nectar from agave plants to make their annual migratory journeys between central Mexico and the U.S. Southwest to give birth to a single pup. Protecting and restoring agave habitat is critical, not just for bats, but for the ecosystems and communities that rely on them. The Agave Restoration Initiative, a binational collaboration of diverse partners, works to save bats, restore agave corridors, and support communities in sustainable agricultural and business practices.
