Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Early results from these efforts are cautiously encouraging, with a few treated colonies showing slightly improved survival rates compared to untreated ones.
- In response, wildlife agencies have begun decontaminating cave entrances, restricting human access to hibernation sites, and researching probiotic treatments that might slow the fungus's spread.
- The resulting die-offs have wiped out entire colonies in some caves, with some species losing more than ninety percent of their numbers in affected regions.
- Much of this decline stems from white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that disrupts hibernation and causes infected bats to burn through fat reserves too early in winter.
- Bat populations across North America have declined sharply over the past two decades, alarming ecologists who study the animals' role in pest control and pollination.
