Bat Spirals and Wildlife High-Rises

Emily over at the Stop Global Warming blog has an interesting post up titled "Architecture for Bats." Before beginning a brief discussion of the plight of bats--and the recently designed Bat Spiral habitat--Emily asks, "As we continue to transform the climate at a blistering pace, what responsibilities do we have to help other species adapt and thrive to the fast-warming world?"

And her post reminds me of another post I included in a mid-June roundup: "Building with Animals in Mind," from Glenn of Liberation BC, about proposed plans in England to build high rises for urban animals.

Glenn writes,

What I really like about it is that these people are thinking about building with animals in mind. And not just how to keep them out of our spaces or how to build to hold them, but rather building for the animals, so that they can have habitat within our habitat.

That architects and planners are thinking about this gives me hope that we might actually start planning our spaces so that the other inhabitants of the earth can exist here too.

Check out both posts. Interesting stuff.
