Our project, “Build It and They Will Come: Building Bat Houses and Creating Habitat for Bat Conservation and Environmental Awareness”, focused on protecting local bat species and spreading awareness of bats and their conservation among members of the Athens community. Bats across North America, including the 16 species found in Georgia, are facing numerous threats, including habitat destruction, White-nose Syndrome, and general fear and misunderstanding by the public. The goal of this project was to provide proactive conservation for Georgia’s bats as well as foster understanding of bats and their importance among members of the Athens community.
