Alberta’s Bats on Non-Licence Animal List

April 10, 2014

Letter from AWA to Honourable Robin Campbell Minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development. There is an urgent need for the immediate removal of all nine of Alberta’s bat species from the Non-Licence Animal List. Hibernating and migratory bats are facing imminent risk of significantly reduced populations from White Nose Syndrome and wind turbine deaths, respectively, and require formal protection instead of being considered “pests.”

We have spectacular wilderness in Alberta, much of it under some form of protection. Every square millimetre of it has had to be fought for - will always have to be fought for, forever and ever. The struggle to retain and repair wilderness is conducted not just by a few individuals, but by large numbers of committed people, from all walks of life, all working in various ways toward the same end. We need to be grateful to all of them.
