Protection of bats in the cave/tunnel Ponikva near Vareš

Support:

The tunnel/cave Ponikva is a bat habitat, among other one of only a few Barbastella barbastellus, a rare species in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to this species, the cave is also a habitat of the big Rhinolophus ferrumequinum bat, the little Rhinolophus hipposideros and the Alpine bass bat Plecotus macrobularis.

The two main objectives of this project are:

Protection of the bat as the most vulnerable mammals,

Increasing safety in traffic by reducing speed and avoiding collision with bats during the ride.
