![]() NPS We've found at least 14 different species! Four of those 14 species are of special concern. Two species, the Western Red Bat and Townsend's Big-eared Bat are on the Arizona State Wildlife Action Plan as a Tier 1A species, meaning species of greatest conservation need. Two other species, the Big Brown Bats and Little Brown Bats are 2 of the 7 species affected by White-nose Syndrome (WNS). While WNS has not been found in Arizona, it has spread very quickly since first discovered in NY in 2007. We are especially excited to have these four species within the monument boundaries, see them doing well, and to be able to be a part of the conservation effort!
