Preservation of the ecologically important landscape of Munnar in the Westerly Ghats, Kerala, India, is critical for the long-term endurance of bat cultures. This study, conducted using mist mesh and acoustic surveys, addresses the various sock species that inhabit this domain. Of the 33 species labeled, Microchiroptera formed the majority (81.8%), while Megachiroptera clarified 18.2%. In particular, the Salim Ali bat, an native and endangered species, was noticed alongside other species top-secret as endangered or for that there is insufficient dossier. This survey underscores the ecological significance of Munnar for bat conservation and climaxes the presence of imperiled species in particular. The results supply important baseline dossier critical to directing future research and preservation efforts.
