6 Preserving wildlife and the environment In some areas, bat roosts can be present. Trees and
hedgerows are natural environments for bats while rivers and canals are also important for foraging. Certain species of bat are very sensitive to light . Installing inappropriate lighting can destroy feeding areas and prevent bats from moving through the landscape. Yet bats are not the only animals that need to be protected from light spill and uncontrolled lighting. Fauna and flora can suffer from high light intensity, the colour spectrum (blue light) and excessive lighting over time. Only experts can minimise the disturbance to the different species of fish, insects and endangered animals.
