The Conservationists, Scientists, Academics That Failed Bats, And Flawed Bat Counting

                              Highly endangered bats faced with extinction came to the radar of a number of so called bat conservationists and other conservationists, bat scientists and academics, and related organizations and institutions. Being on the radar, studying the bats, having bat related meetings, expensive exotic bat related travel to the distant land, bat conferences, bat scientific studies; none of this stopped the destruction of the habitat upon which the bats depend, or the killing of the bats themselves.
                              A very lucrative project that destroyed habitat was of huge consequence, and no one raised a voice against it. The motives for silence in the face of destruction? Perhaps it was the belief in timidity as the way to remain "constructively" engaged, believing that raised voices would only be alienating. But what did that matter, when everything was going to be lost anyway? Maybe it was the fear of losing travel perks, funding, grants, or being able to operate in other areas of that country.
                                 Meanwhile, a questionable method of counting bats developed by an academic was used as a way to declare bat numbers were on the rise despite development.
                                  If conservation failures were as widely advertised as so called conservation successes, maybe then conservation would be approached differently.
