Bats are so valuable to people and are amazing animals in their own right. We need to protect California's native biodiversity and this listing is an important step in that ongoing process.

Save the bats and the world, please. Native Americans, like myself, would really appreciate the gesture.

The benefits of bats are respectively on the same level biologically as the bees...they are the best defense against pesky bugs that could harm humans. Our actions are the stone in the pond, with the ripple effects spreading to natures habitats...

The pallid bat is amazingly tough and adaptable, much like our state. It can live in various habitats and has many special adaptations.
