Скачать или смотреть OnTopic: Amazing World of Bats, Nature's Tiny Fighter Jets

For the inaugural lecture of its OnTopic series, the Mission Trails Regional Park Foundation presented Don Endicott on the subject of bats. During this multi-media presentation, Endicott shares how bats contribute to our environment in many ways—catching insects, pollinating wild fruits, and helping reforest disturbed lands. Poorly understood and frequently feared, bats are under threat worldwide, and need our protection as much as we need them in healthy populations.

Don Endicott is a retired research engineer and executive in Navy Communications and Network Technologies and discovered a second career as a volunteer naturalist. He is a NAI Certified Interpretive Guide, Mission Trails Regional Park Trail Guide, and public educator for the San Diego Humane Society’s “Bat Team.” He is also co-author of "50 Best Short Hikes San Diego" with the late Jerry Schad.
