由于干旱, 濒危的墨西哥长鼻子蝙蝠正向北移动100英里, 进入美国森林, Endangered Mexican long-nosed bats are moving 100 miles farther north into U.S. forests due to drought, threatening their survival and agave pollination.

墨西哥的长鼻子蝙蝠是一种濒危物种,比往常更远100英里向北迁移,进入亚利桑那州和新墨西哥州的吉拉国家森林,以寻找海藻花蜜,其驱动因素是传统品种的海藻开花量因干旱而减少。 Mexican long-nosed bats, an endangered species, are migrating up to 100 miles farther north than usual into Arizona and New Mexico’s Gila National Forest in search of agave nectar, driven by drought-related declines in agave flowering in their traditional range. DNA证据证实它们不仅在已知栖息地外存在，也凸显了栖息地恢复和花蜜走廊的必要性，以支持依赖蝙蝠授粉的蝙蝠和龙舌兰。 DNA evidence confirms their presence beyond known roosts, highlighting the need for habitat restoration and a nectar corridor to support both bats and agaves, which rely on the bats for pollination. 自2018年以来,墨西哥和美国通过广泛的养护努力,种植了185 000多个草原。 Over 185,000 agaves have been planted since 2018 across Mexico and the U.S. through a broad conservation effort.
