FY1999 Great Lakes Projects
Great Lakes Bat and Mine Protection and Restoration
| Great Lakes Bat and Mine Protection and Restoration (GL975161-01-0: $24,000) |
| Recipient: Bat Conservation International Inc. |
| Project Period: 10/1/99 to 9/30/01 |
| Project Officer: John Schneider (312-886-0880) |
This project will serve to help identify new mine roosts critical to bat survival in the upper Great Lakes region and to protect at least four critical mine hibernation roosts which provide shelter to more than 220,000 bats. Some bats are federally listed endangered species and some bats consume large quantities of insect "pests", thereby reducing the need for the application of chemical pesticides in the Great Lakes basin.
