As we stay up late to ring in the new year, let’s give a nod to another late-night flyer – the northern long-eared bat! 🦇✨ This week in 1973, the Endangered Species Act was signed into law, protecting countless species, including these nocturnal creatures. Here’s to celebrating milestones in conservation and the hope that 2025 brings even more progress for our environment. Happy New Year! 🎉 #NewYearsEve #EndangeredSpeciesAct #ConservationMatters #NorthernLongEaredBat #MNAEP Photo: By Jomegat - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://lnkd.in/giUad4e2
