Goal: Protect pallid bat diurnal, nocturnal, and maternity roosts from destruction and human disturbance and enhance foraging habitat within commuting distance of nocturnal and maternity roosts to increase resilience to environmental and demographic stochasticity, maintain genetic diversity, and improve chances of persistence over the long-term (>100 years).
Management units: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Beginning in 2017, inspect the vicinity of pallid bat roosts on an annual basis (see occurrence table), taking care not to disturb bats, and use a regional monitoring protocol to collect covariate data on human activities and other threats to determine management needs.
Action | Statement | Action status | Projects |
---|---|---|---|
IMP-1 | Conduct regional IMG monitoring protocol surveys to quantify signs of human activity near occupied or potential roosts and to identify other potential threats. Care should be taken to avoid disturbing roosting bats. | available for implementation | Pallid Bat Surveys - Sweetwater Marsh |
IMP-2 | Based upon threat evaluation, determine if routine management or more intensive management is warranted. | available for implementation | Pallid Bat Surveys - Sweetwater Marsh |
IMP-3 | Submit monitoring data and management recommendations to MSP web portal | available for implementation | Pallid Bat Surveys - Sweetwater Marsh |
