Destination: Mexico
Expedition: Bats have been vilified in the media due to links to Covid-19, but they are a fascinating group of species—key pollinators, insect population controllers, and seed dispersers--that need our protection more than we need to be protected from them. Dr. Edgard David Mason's expedition will use state-of-the-art technology to peel back the darkness and learn about the incredible lives of the thousands of bats that live in Mexico's El Salitre Cave.
