How are Kerala researchers advocating for a better understanding of flying mammals, and why is this research important

Explore the efforts of Kerala researchers in studying flying mammals and the importance of enhancing understanding in this field.

Kerala researchers are conducting field surveys and observational studies to document the diversity and distribution of flying mammals in the region.
Scientists are using advanced technologies such as acoustic monitoring devices to study the echolocation calls of bats, aiding in species identification.
Researchers are also collaborating with local communities to promote conservation awareness and mitigate human-wildlife conflicts involving flying mammals.

Studying flying mammals is crucial as they play significant roles in pollination, seed dispersal, and insect control, contributing to ecosystem balance. Understanding their behavior and ecology can help in developing effective conservation strategies to protect these species and their habitats. Additionally, by studying flying mammals, researchers can also gain insights into zoonotic diseases and their transmission dynamics, ultimately benefiting both wildlife and human health.
