Overview of the 2024 National Bat Monitoring Programme report

Long-term monitoring shows that population trends for five bat species in Great Britain have increased and six remain stable since 1999.

However, recent short-term trends suggest fewer increases and some emerging declines, particularly in specific regions. These shifts may indicate new pressures, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and research to guide conservation efforts.

As indicator species, bats help reflect the broader health of our ecosystems — meaning changes in their populations can signal wider environmental shifts.
