The Fat Bat Project was one solution BCI worked on to help bats with White-nose Syndrome survive the winter. This project experimented with providing insect prey patches to improve foraging opportunities before the bats go into hibernation each fall, and then once again when they reemerge in the spring. The Fat Bat Project tested ways to lure nocturnal insects so bats can forage near their winter roost areas and also studied how to manage vegetation to increase the abundance of insects to provide more food for bats. And it also had a great name! Rep this awesome project and spark conversations about White-nose Syndrome and protecting bats.
