Bats and Forests

Bats are vital nocturnal mammals that pollinate plants, disperse seeds, and control insect populations by eating large quantities of insects each night. Forests are complex ecosystems composed of trees, plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms that interact to sustain life. Together, bats and forests form a crucial ecological relationship: bats help forests thrive by promoting healthy plant growth through pollination and seed dispersal, while forests provide bats with essential habitats for roosting and foraging. Protecting both is vital for maintaining biodiversity, ecological balance, and the health of our planet.
