Bats & Science: Projects & Research at BCT - a talk by Lisa Worledge

This talk is about the various research projects that the Bat Conservation Trust is involved with. It will put current research in the context of BCT’s overall objectives and of four key research themes:

1. improving assessment of species status; 
2. understanding and mitigating the impact of humans; 
3. habitat and landscape management;  
4. the role of bats in ecosystems. 

For each of these themes we’ll consider some of the current projects underway as well as some of the things we’d like to do in the future.

Lisa started at BCT in May 2011 as Partnerships Officer, liaising between BCT and bat groups. Her interest in bats was first sparked by a bat walk with the Birmingham and Black Country Bat Group in 2008, she was so hooked she joined the committee later that same year.
