what human activities within the park are most likely to have the greatest impact on the bat 

 populations present. Sites in most need of identification are maternity roosts and hibernacula, as 

 these are very sensitive to human disturbance. Future systematic inventories should make use of 

 multiple survey techniques (see Thomas and West 1989, O'Farrell and Gannon 1999) to assure 

 the most complete assessment of the bat fauna.
