Have you ever enjoyed a delicious ice-cold margarita? If so, you have bats to thank! Expedition Leader Diana Lopez explains how these furry flyers help keep ecosystems and traditions alive in Mexico, where they pollinate the agave (or maguey) plants used to produce tequila and mezcal. Learn about the growing threats bats face from habitat loss, agriculture and human misconceptions, and discover innovative conservation strategies protecting them, from restoring flowering corridors to supporting bat-friendly tequila and mezcal producers.
