12:00 – It’s the time of year when everyone has bats on the brain, but did you know Saskatchewan’s bat population is under threat? A deadly fungus has been moving its way westward across North America, and has recently been discovered in Saskatchewan. It’s already decimated 90 per cent of little brown bat populations in eastern Canada. The Nature Conservancy of Canada has been tracking bats in Saskatchewan by recording their echolocation calls and fitting specimens with radio-transmitters, which help them understand what sorts of habitats these creatures need to live healthily and let them tailor management in the areas to benefit the species and aid in their protection and recovery. NCC Saskatchewan bat expert Sarah Ludlow joins Gormley to tell us more.
