The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing the tricolored bat under the Endangered Species Act after seeing significant decreases in bat population caused by white-nose syndrome. The proposed listing is likely to expand buffer zones within the bat's habitat and add seasonal restrictions on forest management practices. USFWS will accept comments through November 14.
