Bats may drive you batty; they are pretty creepy to some people but they're also essential to farms and backyard gardens as they eat their body weight in bugs in a single night. And they're in trouble. A fungus that causes White Nose Syndrome is killing them off. Why you should care about saving the bats, and what's being done to accomplish it.

Guests:

Rob Mies, executive director, Organization for Bat Conservation

Katie Gillies, director of imperiled species, Bat Conservation International

Brian Bull, ideastream reporter
