The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has developed this Bat Habitat Conservation Plan to address the potential for covered forest management activities to cause incidental take of five listed or otherwise at-risk bat species over a period of 50 years. The following bat species are covered in this HCP:

  • Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis). Federally listed as endangered.
  • Gray bat (Myotis grisescens). Federally listed as endangered.
  • Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). Federally listed as threatened. 
  • Little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus). Under status review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with the potential to become federally listed. 
  • Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). Petitioned for listing with the potential to become federally listed.
