One more interrogatory from NA-PAW, EB 2011-6394 |
Dear Ms. Walli
In the version of the PDF file I sent earlier today, I neglected to add this question. (It was in the draft file, but somehow was left off the final copy to PDF...apologies.)
The question relates to the absence of bat studies, especially given the COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) February 3, 2012 announcement that three species of bats are in serious peril.
The Emergency paper says that the loss of these species is "unprecedented," and the Tri-colored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus), Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus), and Northern Myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) in Canada are now classified as Endangered. Given that this Emergency Paper was released in Canada this February, and that wind turbines and transmission lines are causing increasing difficulty for survival, on top of White Nose Syndrome and loss of habitat, when would these studies be conducted and by whom?
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Sherri Lange
