In this chapter, host Caitlin Stone delves into the Native Bat Conservation Program, a collaboration between the Nuclear Waste Management Organization and the Toronto Zoo. This initiative seeks to deepen our understanding of the challenges and threats facing native bat species in South Bruce Peninsula and to bolster conservation efforts to support these species.

Conservation is a collective effort, and a key aspect of this program is working with communities to dispel myths about bats and reintroduce these creatures to the public. Ensuring safe habitats and garnering community support are essential for the long-term protection of native species.

Caitlin is joined by Toby Thorne of the Toronto Zoo as well as Melissa Mayhew from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.
