Colorado Bat Working Group: Bat Conservation Plan

CBWG Bat Conservation Plan
___________________________________________________________________________
Status of CBWG Bat Conservation Plan Update
*please read*
At the 2011 CBWG Meeting the majority of members in attendance felt that the Conservation Plan should be re-evaluated after 10 years. Thus, the 2013 CBWG Meeting will be dedicated to assigning revision tasks and developing an editorial board. Currently the plan does not adequately address recent bat conservation topics, such as wind energy development and white nose syndrome.
