This project began in 2015, when we decided to place some shelter boxes for bats in our vineyards. The aim was to test some box models, make an inventory of the species present in the territory and confirm that the placement of these shelters was an effective strategy for the conservation of bats given our farming conditions.
The results of this first experience made for the Final Degree Project (TFG) of the Degree in Agrifood and Rural Environment Engineering of Juan Martínez Barberá, directed by Rosa Vercher Aznar (UPV). The work was presented as an article and presentation at the I Mediterranean Viticulture Symposium ECOWINEMED, Utiel, 2017.
