Wildlife groups and government agencies are trying to mobilize sharp-eyed humans for Colorado Bat Watch, a campaign launched this month to help biologists find bat roosting sites fast enough to save bats from proliferating perils, including the deadly white-nose fungus.
The idea is to be able to vaccinate bats while they’re hanging about during the daytime as soon as possible.
This emerging mission requires statewide public participation because bat roosts can be so hard to spot, overwhelming scientific capacities, according to the coordinators of the Bat Watch, among the first in the West as the fungus spreads.
