“I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet of ours.” -Kurt Vonnegut
Why Save the Little Brown Bat? -due to WNS, 700 fewer tons of insects are consumed yearly, including insects that may harm crops or firewood. Smaller insect populations also help prevent the spread of disease. -fewer bats means more pesticides, which ordinarily harm the environment and our health. Bats save up to 50 billion dollars a year on pesticides.
-ECOSYSTEM! We must keep a balance of diversity, or other species will go extinct as well. -bats help restore lands such as forests with their droppings (guano), which spread seeds.
