NASBR 2016 Keynote Message from Merlin Tuttle

Merlin's Keynote Message at the 46th Annual Symposium of the North American Society for Bat Research. Merlin provided perspective on bat conservation progress in America over the 46 years since annual meetings of North American bat researchers began in 1970. At that time most Americans had been led to believe that bats were little more than disease carrying, mostly rabid vermin, and frightened citizens were spending tens of millions of dollars annually hiring pest control companies to poison bats in buildings.
