India's Bats Are Disappearing, A New Report Shows How Serious Crisis Has Become

Rohit Chakravarty, bat researcher at NCF and BCI and a lead author of the report, said the shortage of researchers puts lesser-known species at serious risk. “There are seven species that are data-deficient and endemic to India. They are all extremely rare and we know far too little to claim that they are safe or threatened,” he told Ground Report.
