Veon ecologists conducted a bat survey in an industrial park in Co. Louth last week and came across this little nocturnal hedgehog who was out searching for a late night snack!
Bat surveys are primarily conducted for conservation, legal compliance, and environmental management. These surveys are essential for monitoring bat populations to protect and enhance biodiversity. Veon Ecology provides these surveys to assist developers adhere to laws such as the Wildlife Acts and the EU Habitats Directive, which protect bats and their habitats.
Assessing potential impacts on bats from construction or development projects, particularly where old structures or natural habitats are involved, is essential in order to afford bats with safeguards to protect their habitats.
Veon ecologists gather data on bat ecology and population dynamics to support scientific research and track conservation efforts over time and help identify key roosting and foraging areas for targeted habitat protection and enhancement.
Veon Ecology’s bat surveys are crucial for protecting bat populations, ensuring legal compliance, and promoting sustainable development.
