Bats are an important component in ecosystem health and condition. They form a critical niche, being primary night time predators of night flying insects and are susceptible to increased levels of pesticides and environmental change, while Fruit bats are critical for forest regeneration. Many plants are reliant on these night time pollinators (e.g. Boabab Adonsonia digitata), for both pollination and seed dispersal.
