The Gotham Bat Conservancy (GBC) was founded to address the growing problem of White-Nose Syndrome and its impact on bat populations in New York State.

The disease, caused by a fungus called Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has killed millions of bats across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, leading to a significant decline in their numbers.

The organization’s main goal is to rehabilitate the image of bats and educate the public about their vital role in the ecosystem.

The GBC recognizes the importance of bats in controlling insect populations, pollination, and seed dispersal, among other ecological services.

By educating people about these benefits, they hope to dispel the myths that have contributed to the widespread fear of bats.

In addition to education, the organization provides resources and materials for ecological restoration to bolster bat populations in New York City and beyond.

The GBC’s efforts are critical in ensuring a better future for bats and humans alike.

Bats are an essential component of the ecosystem, and their decline could have significant consequences for agriculture, public health, and other areas.

By raising awareness about the importance of bats and providing resources for their rehabilitation, the GBC is working to mitigate these impacts and ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
