California Bat Removal
The California Bat Conservation Fund is a non-profit California organization dedicated to the preservation of California bats. The California fund's major activities include:
• dispelling widespread misconceptions about California bats through informative presentations and live-bat displays at schools, libraries, museums, and community centers
• restoring injured and orphaned California bats to health and returning them to the wild
• working alongside major California conservation efforts to replenish shrinking bat populations

It is believed that white-nose Syndrome has been causing the deaths of bats throughout the north and southern parts of the United States. Scientists still cannot confirm that the fungus is the primary cause of death, but what they do know is that White-nose Syndrome is spreading fast, but not uniformly as it has been leapfrogging from one effected area to another area to popular recreational caving sites that has lead researchers to suspect that microscopic fungal spores get onto clothing worn by cavers, who unintentionally carry it to new sites. Some white-nose syndrome researchers speculate that European cavers may have innocently brought the spores to America, where in the USA native bats have no natural resistance. Others scientists suspect the spread of the fungus is more likely a naturally occurring anomaly, but no one has the proof to support their thesis..
