Current Status
The current overall condition status of the Bats Species Indicator is Caution based on the two metric condition values we selected. More high-quality data are needed to determine trends. While it is uncertain whether bat diversity is declining across the MSPA (Metric1), there are indications some populations may be declining, such as for pallid and Townsend's big-eared bats (Metric 2). Future metrics are planned to assess threats to roosting and foraging habitats for the bat community and effectiveness of management actions.
