Construction project reduces habitat for endangered bat
MARION AP A 1.1 million road project moves forward despite reducing habitat for the endangered Indiana bat. City crews will remove about 160 trees on the north side industrial park to clear a route, affecting nesting grounds for the species. Environmental officials warn nesting females are at risk, while the city and state wildlife leaders emphasize project timelines. The Indiana bat, roughly 0.1 to 0.4 ounces with wingspans near 10 inches, is endangered due to habitat loss and nocturnal habits.
