List the northern long-eared bat as endangered NOW!

White nose syndrome (WNS) has claimed a staggering number of northern long-eared bats since it first broke out in 2007. Already, the species has lost almost 99% of its population in just a few short years.

Last year, due to WNS and habitat loss, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finally proposed to list these bats as endangered. But the agency soon backtracked under pressure from logging and oil and gas industries that opposed the listing.

White nose syndrome is the gravest threat to North American bats that has ever been seen. FWS must take action immediately and move forward with listing the long-eared bat under the Endangered Species Act!
