What the committee does:
Initially created in response to WNS, the committee now covers a broad range of biological threats to caves and karst in a WNS-endemic world. This team is evaluates and prepares the NSS response to current and future threats faced by cave biota. They also strive to ensure that cavers are aware of threats and understand how to cave softly to mitigate their impact in the cave environment.
