homer:"The widespread use of formaldehyde as a mould suppressant on lumber and building materials, as well as carpet and other commercial fabrics may be creating fungi that have a pathogenic nature (or non-natural,as it were). In any event, Bee populations are also being devastated by fungi." That formaldehyde in the environment and causing a significant bloom of microbes that eat it in the environment as a whole/hole seems to me to be a stretch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embalming_fluid
I suggest that coal mines and underground nuclear waste storage areas be provided with bat-permeable openings and starter populations as a way of adding to the potential habitat. When bats are really challenged, they will inhabit attics and belfries, of course, so it may not be justifiable if great added costs are involved.
Does the Peking zoo even have a few live bees left? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peking_Zoological_Garden |
