This book focuses on central themes related to the conservation of
bats. It details their response to land-use change and management
practices, intensified urbanization and roost disturbance and loss.
Increasing interactions between humans and bats as a result of
hunting, disease relationships, occupation of human dwellings, and
conflict over fruit crops are explored in depth. Finally,
contributors highlight the roles that taxonomy, conservation
networks and conservation psychology have to play in conserving
this imperilled but vital taxon. With over 1300 species, bats are
the second largest order of mammals, yet as the Anthropocene dawns,
bat populations around the world are in decline. Greater
understanding of the anthropogenic drivers of this decline and
exploration of possible mitigation measures are urgently needed if
we are to retain global bat diversity in the coming decades. This
book brings together teams of international experts to provide a
global review of current understanding and recommend directions for
future research and mitigation.
