Bats are power pollinators!

Показать описание
Hundreds of species of economically and/or ecologically important plants rely primarily on bats for pollination or seed dispersal, sometimes both.

Some examples of these include agave (tequila and mescal!), bananas, durian, mangrove, calabash, various palm trees, kapok, piper, eucalyptus, baobab, African butter and tallow tree, bottle brush, and many giant cacti including saguaro and organ pipe.

Many tropical and sub-tropical rainforest ecosystems also rely on bat seed dispersers to regenerate areas of habitat loss.

Insect eating bats not only protect humans by eating crop and yard pests but they protect all of us, including other pollinators, by reducing the need for more pesticides.

Merlin’s unique photography and communication first led to global appreciation of bats as safe, invaluable, even cute, and likable. No one has better demonstrated the power of combining captivating photos with sound science to win friends instead of battles for bats. Nor has anyone better demonstrated how conservation can benefit humans. Merlin’s legendary photos and experience provide invaluable guidance and inspiration that must be preserved and shared for future generations.

MTBC is now Merlin’s sole source of support, both for his ongoing conservation efforts and for preservation of his priceless photo collection and legacy resources.
