Swifts have declined by over 50% in recent decades
Barn Owls and Kestrels are struggling as traditional habitats vanish
Artificial lighting is making it more difficult for bats to nest
Dormice populations have declined by 70% since 2000 due to habitat loss
By installing a Genesis Conservation Nest Box, you’re directly helping reverse these declines. A safe, durable nest site means:
Higher breeding success.
More fledglings reaching adulthood.
Stronger local populations.
Healthier ecosystems where birds and bats provide natural pest control.
Many wild birds, bats, owls, mammals and insects are losing natural nesting / roosting sites due to changes in building designs, such as more insulation and sealed eaves, removal of old trees, pruning of mature hedges, etc. Nest boxes help compensate for this loss.
Birds such as Swifts, Barn Owls, Kestrels and Sparrows are under pressure globally. Their traditional nesting sites - tree cavities, old barns, roof eaves, are disappearing. Providing well-designed nest boxes helps to:
Improve breeding success: safe, dry, predator-resistant nest sites allow more young to survive to fledging.
Boost local populations and reverse decline.
Support ecosystem services: birds control pests, bats act as natural insect managers, and biodiversity is key to healthy environments.
At a national & global level, such actions contribute to biodiversity commitments, aiding threatened species recovery and meeting conservation goals.
