Areas essential for bats in priority sites

In order to preserve bats, beyond the protection and consideration of their hens, it is appropriate to consider the habitats they frequent during their nocturnal activity for feeding and moving. For example, hunting grounds and preferred travel corridors around or between cottages must also be conserved and taken into account in land use planning at the risk of constructing a road that will split the regional ecological network of a species or of establishing a deadly wind farm in the middle of the corridor, for example. The geographic information layer “Necessary areas for bats in sites of interest for chiroptera” identifies these two types of habitat.
