Speak up for their protection and ask that their habitat be protected, too.
Tricolored bat

John,

The tricolored bat, weighing less than a sheet of paper, is one of the smallest bats in North America — and among the most imperiled. Found in 39 states, these insect-eating flyers have declined by 90% across most of their range. One-third of their colonies have disappeared entirely due to the deadly fungal disease known as white-nose syndrome.

But you can help.

Thanks to legal action from the Center for Biological Diversity and our allies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to protect tricolored bats as endangered. But, despite acknowledging that habitat loss is also a key threat, the agency didn't designate critical habitat for them at the same time. Logging of the forests these little animals need to roost and forage adds to the losses from disease.

Tell the Service you support protecting tricolored bats as endangered and you expect it to designate critical habitat, too.
