Support our first manifesto for bats - News - Bat Conservation Trust

BCT launches our first manifesto, created so that evidence-based conservation policy ideas are available for political parties and decision makers. Now we’d like your support to get these ideas out there.

Why a bat conservation manifesto?

Bat conservation faces many threats, from the climate crisis to chronic underfunding of environmental services. And though legal protections have enabled some positive signs of recovery, there are still UK bat species at risk of extinction and declines in some species and areas.

Political action is needed now to protect, conserve, and enhance our natural heritage. So, we have distilled expertise from across BCT into policy asks that would protect bats - and create a nature-positive economy that benefits wildlife, people and communities.
