The design beautifully illustrates the remarkable care and energy this threatened species invests in raising their young, with delicate details showing the bats' distinctive features and the lush tropical environment they call home. The inscriptions "NATIONAL PARK," "AMERICAN SAMOA," "2020," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this powerful conservation message.
