Installing Bat Populations

This effort preserved the population and habitat of these bat colonies. These colonies need to be embraced by the public and honored/revered just as much as the mountain ranges themselves.
Local changes in North Carolina towns and neighborhoods can be made in effort to promote bat life. Installing bat boxes around local homes can positively impact bats in local areas by providing an area for roosting (Bat House General Information). The best location for bat houses are on top of poles or buildings which provides the best protection from predators (Bat House General Information). Once a resident the bat will begin to feed on insects, therefor lowering the local insect population. Adding bat houses to a local community can benefit both parties, bat and human populations.
Awareness needs to be at its fullest in humans when interacting with bat colonies and their natural habitats. The less natural habitats being destroyed the fewer man-made habitats will need to be built. There is a lack of common knowledge known about bats in the public (Bat Information). The more information that is spread about the benefits of bats and their colonies will spark more reaction and pro-action. The reaction will be the creation of bat boxes in communities, and the pro-action will be the benefits of building bat boxes in communities. Less insects, more fertilizer, and a healthier ecosystem with higher populations of
