In For the Love of Bats she shares a vivid, place-based exploration of the West’s only flying mammals, blending natural history with in-the-field experiences.\nEach chapter delves into fascinating details–from echolocation and hibernation to feeding habits and migration–while connecting these traits to broader ecological patterns. Also included are an additional brief guide to all 32 species commonly found west of the Rockies, resources for learning more, tips for observing bats, guidance on creating backyard habitats with bat houses, and recommendations for top destinations on public lands to witness bat activity.\nDespite their importance, nearly 200 bat species are endangered globally. With compelling narratives, fascinating science, and actionable conservation advice, For the Love of Bats invites readers to embrace the wonder of these extraordinary mammals–reminding us that bats are not just survivors of the night, but vital architects of healthier, more resilient ecosystems.\nA percentage of proceeds from sales of this book support bat conservation.\n\nNIKI DESAUTELS is a bat conservation and education specialist who serves on the board of Bats Northwest, a nonprofit dedicated to bat research, education, and conservation in the Pacific Northwest. Through her work, she inspires people to connect with and protect local species. She lives in Seattle with her husband, her dogs, Raven and Mara, and a collection of bat houses.
