If this isn’t the most dystopian thing you’ve read today I don’t know what is.

Artificial Refugia (such as bat boxes) can be used to somewhat offset lost habitat, but it’s like replacing a rainforest with a plastic plant and calling it conservation. Further, unless they are meticulously designed, they can act as traps (trap animals inside), snack plates for predators, or even ‘cook’ the animals inside them.
