What is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recommending in its cave advisory for White-nose Syndrome?
The Service’s cave advisory has four recommendations to limit the possible spread of White-nose Syndrome (WNS) by human activity:
- A voluntary moratorium on caving in states with confirmed WNS and all adjoining states; Nationally, in states not WNS-affected or adjoining states, use clothing and gear that has never been in caves in WNS-affected or adjoining states; State and federal conservation agencies should evaluate scientific activities for their potential to spread WNS; and Nationally, researchers should use clothing and gear that has never been in caves in a WNS-affected or adjoining state.
- This also applies to mines used by cavers.
