They want to build up a picture of the size of the bat population across the UK. The online map allows people to record sightings of bats flying in their area, and view where they have been seen all over the country and near where they live.  There are 17 species of bats in the UK, many of which regularly live close to people, occasionally roosting in houses and feeding over our parks and gardens – even in towns. Chris Packham, President of Bat Conservation Trust, says that by registering their sightings online people will be helping to create a valuable resource: "Over the last 60 years many of our bat species have declined dramatically - The Big Bat Map is an easy way for people to get involved in helping conserve these wonderful unique creatures, in many cases they won't even need to leave their living rooms."
