flag A new UK housing project boosted local bat populations nearly double in one year through conservation efforts.

flag A 2,000-home development in Oxfordshire’s Graven Hill has nearly doubled the local bat population within a year, according to ecological reports. flag The project, built on former Ministry of Defence land acquired in 2014, required a protected species licence due to existing bat roosts. flag Developers created new roosts, expanded green spaces, and implemented monitoring, resulting in 11 active roosts supporting several bat species. flag So far, 745 homes, a school, community center, and parks have been completed or approved. flag Officials and ecologists call it a success in balancing housing growth with wildlife conservation.
