"The Center for Biological Diversity's petition asks the White House to ... enact consistent regulations limiting human entry to caves on public lands in order to prevent spread of the disease to the western United States and other areas. Those steps are needed because white-nose syndrome has been found to be caused by a newly described fungus, aptly named Geomyces destructans, that is easily carried on the shoes, clothes or gear of any person visiting contaminated caves and is very likely being spread by people. Indeed, all evidence indicates that the disease was recently and inadvertently introduced to North America by a cave visitor on both continents."
