Case study 1: Acoustic Surveys at Fort Drum Military Installation – the Value of Long-term Monitoring
Prior to the advent of white-nose syndrome (WNS), most bat conservation in the eastern United States consisted of one issue: the known or suspected presence of the endangered Indiana bat ( Myotis sodalis ). The National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act requires Department of Defense land managers to prioritize identification, monitoring, and conservation of Indiana bat day-roost areas, foraging habitat during the maternity season, and pre-hibernation swarming sites during autumn.
