But the The Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre (CCWHC), the organization that monitors health and disease in wildlife populations, is barely getting any reports. This could mean that bats aren&#8217;t dying or aren&#8217;t emerging early from hibernation into the non-stop polar vortex this year. But we all know that&#8217;s wishful thinking. The other, more likely option is that people don&#8217;t know who to call when they see a bat, and therefore we have no idea how far White Nose Syndrome has spread since last winter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/libereroblog.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/30\/seeing-bats-who-you-gonna-call\/\" target=\"_blank\">The CCWHC urgently needs your help.
