The Voices: A Library Lecture Series committee is pleased to present “White Nose Syndrome: The Darkest of Nights for North American Bats” by Alan Hicks on Tuesday, Nov. 3, from noon to 12:50 p.m. in the BTC Auditorium.
Alan Hicks, retired bat biologist for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, tells the story of White Nose Syndrome. Detected in the Capital Region in 2006, the disease has killed millions of bats across an ever-widening portion of the continent, and has driven some bat species to the edge of extinction. Hicks also describes similar human-induced catastrophes that are now threatening the natural world.
