OCTOBER MONTHLY PRESENTATION
“The Hidden Lives of Bats”
Presenter:  Lucas Greville

Bats are the second largest group of mammals on Earth, comprising over 1,400 species that exhibit diverse form, behavior, and ecological roles. Yet their nocturnal nature makes them a mystery for many naturalists and nature enthusiasts. This talk will uncover the hidden lives of bats, introducing key aspects of their biology and natural history. We’ll explore how bats navigate and hunt in the dark, the incredible range of their diets and adaptations, and their ecological significance. Special attention will be given to the bats of New Brunswick, highlighting the species found in our region, their current conservation status, and the challenges they face from habitat loss, white nose syndrome, and wind turbines. Participants will leave with a new appreciation for these remarkable mammals, along with guidance on how to observe, support, and advocate for local bat populations. Whether you’re a lifelong naturalist or newly curious, this presentation will shed light on one of the most misunderstood and ecologically important groups in the animal kingdom.

Ce webinaire sera enregistré et partagé avec les participants inscrits ainsi que sur YouTube.
