In Atlantic Canada bats are susceptible to a disease known as White-nose Syndrome (WNS) – A deadly disease affecting North America’s bat populations.

Caused by a fungus that grows on bats during winter hibernation, WNS poses no threat to the health of humans, pets or other animals, but is responsible for the death of over six million bats across North America. This fungus was first discovered in North America in upstate New York in 2006. Since then, WNS has killed up to 99% of bats within specific bat colonies along the east coast.

How can you help bats on PEI?
• Avoid cutting down old trees (called “snags”) that are still standing
• Maintain woodlots near bodies of water
• Avoid displacing bats from their roosts between the beginning of May and the end of September
• Put up a bat house
• Consult with a wildlife biologist before filling in an old well
• Talk to your friends and neighbors about bats

Au Canada atlantique, les chauves-souris sont vulnérables à une maladie que l’on appelle le Syndrome du museau blanc (SMB) – Une maladie mortelle touchant les populations de chauves-souris d’Amérique du Nord.

Causé par un champignon qui croît sur les chauves-souris pendant l’hibernation, le SMB ne pose aucune menace à la santé des humains, des animaux domestiques ou d’autres animaux, mais est responsable de la mort de plus de six millions de chauves-souris en Amérique du Nord. Ce champignon a été identifié pour la première fois en Amérique du Nord dans le nord de l’État de New York en 2006. Depuis ce temps, le SMB a tué près de 99 % des chauves-souris dans certaines colonies de chauves-souris le long de la côte est.

Comment pouvez-vous aider les chauves-souris à l’Î.-P.-É.?
• Évitez de couper les vieux arbres (appelés « chicots ») qui sont encore debout
• Conservez les terrains boisés près des plans d’eau
• Évitez de déplacer les chauves-souris de leurs aires de repos du début mai à la fin septembre
• Installez un dortoir à chauve-souris
• Consultez un biologiste de la faune avant de remplir un vieux puits
• Parlez à vos amis et à vos voisins des chauves-souris
