520    "This book focuses on central themes related to the 
       conservation of bats. It details their response to land-
       use change and management practices, intensified 
       urbanization and roost disturbance and loss. Increasing 
       interactions between humans and bats as a result of 
       hunting, disease relationships, occupation of human 
       dwellings, and conflict over fruit crops are explored in 
       depth. Finally, contributors highlight the roles that 
       taxonomy, conservation networks and conservation 
       psychology have to play in conserving this imperilled but 
       vital taxon. With over 1300 species, bats are the second 
       largest order of mammals, yet as the Anthropocene dawns, 
       bat populations around the world are in decline. Greater 
       understanding of the anthropogenic drivers of this decline
       and exploration of possible mitigation measures are 
       urgently needed if we are to retain global bat diversity 
       in the coming decades. This book brings together teams of 
       international experts to provide a global review of 
       current understanding and recommend directions for future 
       research and mitigation"--Publisher's description.
