Title
WNS - Endangered Species- White Nose Syndrome (FY26)
Description
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a disease of hibernating bats caused by the invasive fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd). WNS is confirmed in at least 12 bat species in North America, including three that are federally listed as threatened or endangered and one that is proposed to be listed. The disease’s impacts vary among affected species, and its impact to multiple recently or not yet exposed species is uncertain. The work funded through the WNS Grants to States and Tribes will assist partners in their efforts to combat the disease and conserve affected or vulnerable species. In addition, the projects funded will strengthen the scientific information needed and apply this information to support decisions for management of bats.
