Booklet looks to improve bat protection
A new booklet designed to help preserve the [South Australian] Limestone Coast's bat population will be unveiled tonight at the Naracoorte Caves.
The south-east of South Australia is home to as many as 16 different bat species.
Naracoorte Caves' manager Steve Bourne says the publication will help shed some light on the mysterious nocturnal creatures.
"There's a key to identification of all of the 16 species of bats that are found within the region, but also important information on where bats live, important habitats for them, how to make your place bat-friendly and what to do if you've perhaps got unwanted bats in the roof of your house or if you find an injured bat," he said.
