Bats usually prefer to roost in cool, dark places with high ceilings, including natural crevices, caves, abandoned mines, eaves of buildings, and even in dead trees. However, these places can be hard for bats to find in areas with more development, which forces them to look elsewhere for places to roost. Building a bat box is a great way to attract bats to your community and provide them with a safe home.<\/p>\n\t<h2><b>Relevant United Nations<br \/>\nSustainable Development Goals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The United Nations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/sustainable-development-goals\/\">Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (UN SDG\u2019s) are a list of projects and actions that all countries can take on to improve their economies and reduce poverty while also protecting the planet.
