I don't know how many of you have heard of the "pond bat" ? It lives where a giant indoor snow complex is going to be built, it is not just these bats , there are caves on the land where bats from miles around hibernate.

Please take a look at this.... www.SnoasisConcern.com

I had a look, and then googled Pond Bat. In Britain it is described as a very rare vagrant (Warks Bat Group website: The Mammal Society UK Mammal list is incomplete to the tune of half a dozen recent vagrant bat species. I recommend the Warks site as a read, the details of bat vagrancy will shoot your eyebrows up.)

In all probability Pond Bat if it has been authoritatively recorded on site at all, was only found as a vagrant - which despite indicating rarity does not arouse the same level of conservation concern as a breeding resident and quite right too.

The newts are a much more important concern.
