▲=== You are preparing the underground trip ===
Then check the cave file on [http://www.grottocenter.org ''GrottoCenter'']<ref group=N>[http://www.grottocenter.org ''GrottoCenter''] is a collaborative database dedicated to speleology ; data is supplied by cavers on the principle of the wiki. ''GrottoCenter'' is managed by ''Wikicaves'' association.
Ligne 21 ⟶ 25 :
In doubt, get in touch with the regional bat correspondent.
=== You are at the cave entrance and find an information sign mentioning the presence of bats ===
You should then choose to abort the exploration and turn to another cave if this happens to be in one of the periods when bats are significantly present.
=== You are in the midst of an exploration and meet a colony of a large group of bats (a few dozens, up to more than 1,000) ===
You should then turn around whatever the season.
Ligne 39 ⟶ 43 :
You might return at a later period, the presence of the bats being seasonal.
=== You are exploring and find some isolated bats ===
You may go on exploring and must comply with the following guidelines:
Ligne 51 ⟶ 55 :
* If the number of bats is rather high (at least ten), make sure you inform the regional bat correspondent.
=== You are about to blow up obstructions or remove rocks ===
The release of noxious fumes related to the use of explosives, the detonations, and the modification of the physical integrity of a cave can result in the death of the bats or the desertion of the site.
Ligne 57 ⟶ 61 :
You should make sure there are no bats on the site when explosives are being used.
