The protection of bats: An important contribution to biodiversity

bats, the fascinated beings of the night, are essential for the ecological balance. They not only serve as a natural insect eater, but also play a central role in the preservation of biodiversity. But the challenges that these animals face are diverse. District President Susanne Bay emphasizes the importance of her protection and has therefore commissioned the Stuttgart regional council to include the bats in the species protection program (ASP) for endangered species

bats in the focus of the species protection program

The ASP, which has been active since April 2022, contains special measures for the highly endangered bat types, including the gray long ear and the branded bat. As part of this initiative, the President of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, was able to find out about the progress and challenges of the programs on August 1, 2024 in Bad Ditzenbach. In the old village church, which houses a nose room of large mouse ears with around 300 females and their young, impressive examples of successful species protection could be visited.

The role of volunteer helpers

An important part of the protection of these animals are the many volunteers who work on site. They act as a contact person and carry out regular checks to ensure that the special quarters of the bats are not endangered. In the case of renovations and structural changes, you can also provide decisive help to maintain the habitats of the bats.

threats to the bats

The dangers for the bats are varied. Loss of living, decline in food offering, the use of harmful pesticides and the expansion of wind power represent great challenges. These circumstances make it necessary to take measures to protect the bats early to secure their stock.

How everyone can help

In addition to the official programs, each individual can also contribute to the protection of the bats. Some simple measures can help:

  • design gardens with domestic plants to create a blossom -rich meadow that attracts insects.
  • Take into account quarters of bats during renovation work and renovate them carefully.
  • you get cave -rich trees so that they can serve as a habitat.
  • Reduce light pollution by using lamps with a low UV content and by targeted lighting.
  • inform the lower nature conservation authority if you find an injured bat.

The importance of the species protection program

The ASP is an essential instrument for the preservation of endangered animal and plant species in Baden-Württemberg. It pursues the goal of stabilizing endangered species and protecting their habitats. The programs of the program, which are carried out in cooperation with property owners and administrators, are already showing initial successes. The visit of government president Bay underlines the commitment and importance of the initiative.

The outlook for the future

bats need our support and their preservation is a common concern. Reports on successful measures and the commitment of the volunteers give rise to hope that it can be possible to preserve these unique animals for future generations. Every little step counts in the big fight against species death.
