Case study 1: Acoustic Surveys at Fort Drum Military Installation – the Value of Long-term Monitoring

December 31, 2020

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.
