Dr Kristen Lear LOVES Bats. You might even say she is batty for bats. She has worked with bats in central Texas pecan orchards (studying the pest control services of bats to pecan farmers) and in Naracoorte Caves, South Australia (conducting population studies on the critically endangered Southern Bent-wing Bat) She is on Solve It For Kids to tell us how kids can help bats thrive.
