FY 1999 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. |
