Last week, biologists Marlon Chavez and Jose Gabriel Martinez, documented the presence of a new bat species in Nicaragua. Our team netted the Broad-eared Bat (Nyctinomops laticaudata) in the Somoto Canyon in Northern Nicaragua.
The IUCN Red List has more information about this species and its habitat range.
Our bat conservation initiative, led by Director of Conservation Science Kim Williams-Guillén, is a joint project with Bat Conservation International, FHI360, and USAID.
You can read more about our bat projects on our website or here on our bat blog.
