(Paraphrased from TAGNet) Here are a couple of articles
detailing how the Center for Biological Diversity and other extreme
environmental groups make a business out of suing the government over
environmental issues, often overwhelming their ability to
respond. CBD has been in the caver news recently because they want
all caves to be closed to protect bats from WNS, which of course
wouldn't happen even if the caves were closed because most
transmission is between the bats themselves.

For a much more considered approach to WNS, check out the
Defenders of Wildlife. This week they are highlighting the
endangered Indiana bat on their
blog: <http://www.defendersblog.org/tag/clwe/>. Last fall they had
an article on WNS and how it is being
combatted:
