A fungus linked to the deadly white-nose syndrome in bats has just been confirmed at Lake Mead, and while no bats are showing symptoms yet, experts are on high alert. This disease has devastated bat populations across the country, and its arrival here could seriously impact Nevada’s ecosystem—bats play a huge role in controlling insects. Officials are urging everyone to avoid abandoned mines and be mindful not to spread spores on shoes or gear. What do you think: Should there be stricter access rules to protect local wildlife, or is public education enough? #Science #LakeMead #Nevada
