Bat Populations Down 90 Percent in 3 States
18 December 2009
Updated 21 December 2009
Bat populations have been reduced by more than 90 percent in caves across three states, by the state Department of Environmental Conservation reports. The decline has been linked to a fungus infection called white nose syndrome, first discovered in Albany and Schoharie county caves in 2006.
In 23 caves surveyed -- four in Vermont and Massachusetts, the rest in Albany and Schoharie counties -- about 4,800 bats were found last winter. That is down from more than 55,000 bats in those same caves before the disease outbreak. The figures include little brown bats, big brown bats and Indiana bats -- the last an endangered species.

The Hartford Courant says the die-off is so severe that federal wildlife officials consider it "the most precipitous decline of North American wildlife caused by infectious disease in recorded history."
