1 in 5 mammals on Earth is a bat.
They pollinate over 500 plants including mangoes, bananas, agave, and cacao.
A single colony of 150 big brown bats eats enough cucumber beetles in one summer to protect local crops from 33 million rootworm larvae.
They are also disappearing. White-nose syndrome has killed over 90% of some North American bat populations since 2006.
What actually helps:
🏠 Put up a bat box: 15-20 feet high, facing south, near water
🚫 Stop using pesticides: you're eliminating their food supply
💡 Turn off unnecessary outdoor lights: disrupts their hunting and navigation
🌿 Plant night-blooming native flowers: feeds the moths they eat
Bats were here 50 million years before us.
Give them somewhere to live and let them do their thing.
