📰 Rare Bats Return to NC After Ten-Year Absence
🌲 North Carolina Mountains: Biologists captured endangered Indiana bats for the first time in a decade, a hopeful sign that targeted habitat restoration is working.
🦇 The rediscovery suggests forest improvements, cave protection, and careful monitoring are helping bat populations stabilize after years of decline due to the fungal infection known as White-Nose Syndrome.
🔬 This finding underscores how long-term conservation commitments can revive species once thought to be slipping away.
