It’s wrong to blame bats for the coronavirus epidemic

Bats, which make up a group of more than 1,200 species, are the only mammals capable of flight. They are important pollinators and seed dispersers, and they provide pest control by eating insects. A number of species also carry viruses that can sicken livestock and human beings---and they likely played some role in the SARS outbreak in 2002. Although much more evidence needs to be collected, researchers suspect that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus at the center of the coronavirus pandemic) originated in bats, and wildlife officials fear that they may become targets of human persecution.
