Many species are insect feeding. So, the loss of habitat supporting invertebrates on the which they feed and use pesticides is a possible cause. Bats also need safe roosting and hibernation sites which are at risk from building and development work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorking with The Bat Conservation Trust, Wildlife World has designed strong wooden bat boxes. That provides suitable roosting spaces for these fascinating mammals with incredible species names such as Pipistrelle, Natterer’s and Whiskered. Bat boxes must have thick sides to insulate the container from excessive temperature variations and a narrow entrance hole to prevent predation. It would be best if you put bat boxes high up in your garden. Growing night-scented plants will help attract night-flying insects, which bats eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorldwide there are more than 1000 species of bat. Many of these species help humans by eating insects which can damage crops. Fruit-eating species also provide pollination and seed dispersal to help with forest regeneration—another reason why we need to work towards successful bat conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-26T15:04:02+01:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Bats"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2022-05-26T15:04:01+01:00","alt":null,"width":900,"height":934,"src":"\/\/wildlifeworldtrade.eu\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Bats.jpg?v=1653573842"}}]
The Vincent Wildlife Trust has been pioneering mammal conservation for 40 years. It manages 40 priority bat roosts, many of international significance deliver conservation education and monitoring.
