They are extremely comfortable and durable. Our batting gloves feature an adjustable wrist strap so they can be adjusted to fit nice and snug on your hand for a comfortable fit. Our batting gloves are made from Cabretta Sheepskin leather for optimal flexibility and comfort. The mesh backing around the knuckles allows you to move and flex your fingers freely without adding stress to the leather. This not only allows for a better grip on the bat, but it also makes the gloves more durable as it eliminates much of the stress on the leather that can cause tears.
The mesh is also vented to allow moisture and heat to be directed away from the fingers, never compromising your grip on the bat. The palm of the batting glove is constructed of premium grade sheepskin leather.
Hamilton is a growing city with many proposed land-development projects planned, especially for its less-developed southern fringes and rural outskirts.
The threats facing these urban bats are immediate and serious. And these conservation challenges are compounded by a paucity of conclusive information about long-tailed bat populations in and around Hamilton.
Without knowing where the bats are, little can be done to protect them. A primary objective of this research was to develop specific recommendations for the long-term conservation of these bats in Hamilton and, at least eventually, throughout New Zealand. Meanwhile, public support is essential for long-term conservation, but only an estimated 5 percent of New Zealanders are even aware that they share their islands with native bats.
Public education about the value of bats and the need to maintain old-growth vegetation was and remains a critical part of our work. Among other efforts, I cofounded with Environment Waikato Project Echo, a multi-organization program to combine community education and involvement with continued monitoring of bat populations.
We are also experimenting with bat houses, which were not being used in New Zealand. Bats had previously been confirmed in only two sites in Hamilton: a rural oak-forest fragment and the Hammond Bush urban parkland. Our initial study, designed to develop monitoring strategies while learning more about bat-activity patterns, was limited to those two habitats.
We chose 16 trees in four microhabitats of the forest and four in Hammond Bush, then randomly rotated five pairs of automated bat detectors among the trees. Using ropes and pulleys at each selected tree, we set one detector 13 to 23 feet 4 to 7 meters above the ground and another at 65 to feet 20 to 30 meters.
