一项新的联合王国住房项目通过养护努力,使当地蝙蝠族人口在一年中几乎翻了一番。 A new UK housing project boosted local bat populations nearly double in one year through conservation efforts.

根据生态报告, 牛津郡Graven Hill的2,000个家庭的发展在一年之内几乎使当地蝙蝠人口翻了一番。 A 2,000-home development in Oxfordshire’s Graven Hill has nearly doubled the local bat population within a year, according to ecological reports. 该项目以2014年获得的前国防部土地为基础,由于现有的蝙蝠巢,需要获得受保护物种的许可证。 The project, built on former Ministry of Defence land acquired in 2014, required a protected species licence due to existing bat roosts. 开发者创造了新的区域,扩大了绿色空间,并实施了监测,导致11个活性区域支持了几个蝙蝠物种。 Developers created new roosts, expanded green spaces, and implemented monitoring, resulting in 11 active roosts supporting several bat species. 迄今为止,已经完成或批准了745套家庭、学校、社区中心和公园。 So far, 745 homes, a school, community center, and parks have been completed or approved. 官员和生态学家称这是在平衡住房增长与野生动物保护之间取得的成功。 Officials and ecologists call it a success in balancing housing growth with wildlife conservation.
