According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bats.org.uk\/\">Bat Conservation Trust<\/a>, \u2018bats are an important part of our natural heritage, and indicators of a green and healthy environment, so their future is directly linked to our quality of life and the quality of our environment\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the UK we are resident to 17 species of bat, but sadly, numbers have been declining the past century due to more buildings going up and less places for bats to nest. However, you can provide a safe and warm habitat for those great British Bats by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/wildlife-world\/bat-box\/\">buying a bat box online <\/a>at EthicalSuperstore! It\u2019s made from FSC Certified timber and can house approximately 100 Pipistrels!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So forget Batman, look after your local bats this year by investing the price of two cinema tickets in a home for hundreds of loveable rogues in need of your help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Keep an eye on other green, eco-conscious events in your area by checking out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/environment\/series\/greenagenda\">Guardian\u2019s Green Agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>(Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mosdave75\/373057721\/\">Mosdave<\/a> for the photo)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes that\u2019s right, this coming weekend (30-31 August)\u00a0is officially European Bat Weekend.
