BATS: THE LAST FLIGHT---A new documentary by Producer Director James Ford Nussbaum

A new documentary by Producer/Director James Ford Nussbaum following the latest developments of White Nose Syndrome, a deadly fungus that has been killing off over 90% of the northeastern seaboard bat populations first detected in New York State in 2006 and working it's way down the coast and into southern states. Although the causes and remedies are still under question, the film will follow a team of scientists, naturalists, and students who are on a crusade to bring about more pubic knowledge of this disease and it's effects on bats and their natural habitat in caves and mines---hoping to save bats while helping to preserve their homes along the way---"leaving nothing but footprints---killing nothing but time". Available 2010.

Bravo! I'm with you. There should be more promotion about this film.

If bats die, we are in trouble!

Cheers! :0)

I look forward to seeing the film. Thanks for working to create such an important film.

I feel much grief over the loss of these gentle creatures who give so much to the health and safety of the planet.

I think man has gone too far in the destruction of Earth & it's inhabitants to turn back. All pollinators are dying; bees, butterflies, birds now bats.

The future will be perilously different than humans can imagine when entire life giving systems like natural pollination have vanished.
