I think our government needs to get serious about protecting us. The agriculture lobbyists are relentless, including their insistence on pesticide usage, and our politicians are selfish, thoughtless idiots.
Perry, I've read recently that there has been some progress in helping bats combat white-nose syndrome. There is this organization that is trying to stem the tide. And I've also read recently that some bat species seem to be adapting to the fungus being around. https://www.whitenosesyndrome.org

Is there anything that we humans can do for the bats to help them battle WNS? It would seem that it would be in our interest to do so?

Thank you, Paul. Very interesting.
This natural experiment shows how important ecosystem services are. Research on how the specific pesticides used affected pregnant women is warranted.
David, yes. This is one of the best illustrations of how essential ecosystem services are.
