This Halloween, WCS Scientist Cori Lausen explains the impact of the devastating White Nose Syndrome on bats in North America. White Nose Syndrome has not yet spread to Western Canada and Dr. Lausen is studying those populations to try to mitigate the spread of the disease.
Dr. Lausen explains the urgency, as we race against the spread of the disease into Western Canada:
"We know surprisingly little about what our bats do in the winter. Part of the urgency right now is to figure out where they're going in the winter... It's a little bit like finding a needle in a haystack. We've got so much ground to cover."
