Event Title
White-nose Syndrome at Mammoth Cave National Park: Actions Before and After Its Detection
Start Date
14-2-2013 2:50 PM
Description
Since it was identified in the United States in 2006, white-nose syndrome (WNS) in bats has become an important issue in the management of caves and bats at Mammoth Cave National Park (MACA). The threat of its arrival has led to more intense monitoring of bat populations, increased studies, and interventions with both the visiting public and researchers. The timeline of MACA’s WNS response is shown in Table 1.
