Since 2012, Ambioterra has added a bat habitat protection component to many of its projects, as the majority of species present in Quebec are at risk.

A female bat, at the peak of lactation, can consume almost&nbsp;100% of its body mass in a single night. Bats help reduce the use of insecticides in agriculture, and consequently soil and water pollution. For example, according to U.S. scientists, bat deaths associated with white-snout disease will cost the agricultural sector an additional $3.7&nbsp;billion in pest control costs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06fed58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"06fed58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-910744c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"910744c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is white-nose syndrome?&nbsp;<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92592e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"92592e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It&#8217;s a disease caused by a fungus that attacks cave bat species during hibernation.
