Bat Conservation Trust

• The U.K. has 18 species of bat. The largest bat is smaller than the palm of your hand (when not in flight), and the smallest is around the size of your thumb and weighs the same as a 20p coin.
• Bat Conservation Trust’s National Bat Helpline receives around 300 enquiries/week during the busy summer months from members of the public who have found injured and grounded bats, building professionals, and householders with bat roost questions.
• Bats account for nearly one-third of all mammal species in the UK and live in a variety of habitats, including both rural and urban areas. They are good indicators of biodiversity, meaning that the presence of bats and the state of bat populations in a certain area is a good indication of a healthy environment.
