Being an avid birdwatcher, I've also learned the importance of the Pallid bat in California. Who would have known about all the great things they do for us after watching all those vampire movies! The Pallid bat helps combat those pesky pests.. please join me in signing this petition as it will elevate awareness for this interesting mammal.

Excellent choice to represent all the bats of California, and the vital services they provide to our fairways, crops, and open spaces.

Everyone should learn more about bats and the wonderful creatures they are and what they do for the environment.

Pallid bats feed on major crop pests in California, reducing the amount of insecticides that are used.

Bats perform vitally important functions in our ecosystems. California should have an official bat, and this is a great species to represent our state!

Yes! I love pallid bats. Having a State bat that kids can learn about in elementary school and that can become pictured on State-associated emblems with the poppy, quail, etc. could be so effective at highlighting their importance.

We should have a state bat and all bats should be protected! They are so essential to our ecosystem! Plus I love them!

Bats are greatly under appreciated, both for their economic benefits and as fascinating native animals. Pallid bats are an ideal candidate.
