Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. Early results from these efforts are cautiously encouraging, with a few treated colonies showing slightly improved survival rates compared to untreated ones.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
