In an earlier MBZ sponsored study the Kolar leaf-nosed bat Hipposideros hypophyllus was rediscovered and found to be highly threatened due to stone quarrying. The project aims to conserve and protect the Kolar leaf-nosed bat through scientific data collection, establishment of Community Conserved Areas and bringing about behavioural change among the stakeholders through conservation education.
