Assam Study Maps 115 Trees Hosting 23 Bat Species in Kamrup

Researchers in Assam’s Kamrup district have mapped the roosting sites of bats, identifying 115 tree species that host 23 distinct bat species. The study offers the first comprehensive inventory of bat habitats in the region, covering both forested areas and human‑altered landscapes. By documenting the specific tree species used by bats, the survey provides valuable data for conservation planning and forest management. The findings are expected to guide future efforts to protect critical bat habitats and promote biodiversity in Assam.
