Project Background

 Bats have a bad reputation with the public, and therefore no one looks into them. Although, they play a significant role in ecological systems through many means like bat guano for fertilizer (Sakoui, 2020). Also, bats benefit the ecosystem through seed dispersal and pollination (Kasso, 2013), especially economically by reducing the billions spent on agricultural pesticides (Hoffmaster et al., 2016). Bats are beneficial to the ecological system by consuming numerous insects and reducing the need for chemical pesticide use, benefiting humans (Ducummon, n.d.). Video games are also popular in the culture of today. Although they have adverse effects on some, educational games can have more people engaged in learning material and becoming more knowledgeable. Due to the increased use of technology in present society, individuals should use it to make themselves more intelligent. The importance of bats research is that, ultimately, it has to conclude that their conservation is necessary; if they are at risk of extinction, humans are at risk of disrupting their ecological systems and harming the economy (Lawson, 2020).
