At the start of Conservation Week last 23 October 2010, the Conservation Council (WA) and ClimateWatch launched the White-striped Bat (Bellwethers of Climate Change?) monitoring program.
This curious species is one of the 25 Western Australian climate change indicators selected by ClimateWatch.
The pdf file below describes the program and the way interested members of community groups and the public can participate via the ClimateWatch website database.
