I\u2019ll admit that the reading I\u2019ve done on white-nose syndrome over the last few weeks has been pretty depressing- at one point I saw an estimate of 6.7 million bat deaths so far (Cohn 2012), which is a horrifying number. But I think it would be even more horrifying to simply resign ourselves to the catastrophe which seems to be at hand. We may not fully understand how the fungus works or how to stop it, but we can work to slow its progress and support bat populations in infected areas and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Want some ideas on how to help?<\/b><\/p>\n
