Bats delay a major construction site near Nantes for a year. The Nort-sur-Erdre diversion project is on hold due to a “significant colony of bats” The Department must inquire about the possible impacts of the work on these flying mammals.
The species unearthed take on a particular character in this geographical area due to their large numbers: “600 lop-eared murines and 150 greater horseshoe bats (females)” Their disappearance could unbalance the ecosystem and break the food chain.
