Bats: Diversity and Conservation in Connecticut and Beyond

Online Zoom event
Presenter: Devaughn Fraser, Connecticut Dept. of Energy & Environmental Protection


Bats are one of the most unique, diverse, and extraordinary groups of mammals on the planet. Sadly, they are also one of the most imperiled. A devastating disease known as “white nose syndrome” has been afflicting our bats in the region for the past 15+ years. This has led to greater than 90% declines in several bat species here in the Northeast. In this presentation, Connecticut state biologist Dr. Devaughn Fraser will introduce the audience to the diversity of bats in the northeastern U.S., share insights about their fascinating ecology, and discuss methods used to monitor and protect these critical members of our natural communities.
