I'm no expert, either, but the second edition of Atlas of the Great
Caves and Karst of Africa, volume 2, doesn't suggest that there are
many real caves in Nigeria. It lists one sandstone cave 350 m long
(probably the one already mentioned), and that's the longest cave. No
limestone caves
Actually, that cave is in Anambra state, which is where the
sandstone caves are located. The description in The Underground
Atlas even mentioned large chambers, lakes and running water. Sounds
like they did commercialize one of those sandstone caves.

Humans have carried fungal spores across the entire planet and probably into
space, so we should also take some responsibility for this catastrophe.
Humans have been responsible for a number of serious threats to wildlife.
Sometimes inadvertent, and other times purposeful, but I think
I have a hard time seeing humans as a significant vector in the spread of
WNS, and have seen no evidence that supports this as a reality, not just a
possibility. This includes the initial jump across the Atlantic. If humans
are a minor factor in the spread then we may expect the disease to run its
I have pointed this out before, but it bears repeating.
Humans _must_ not be a very good vector for transmitting WNS because
the NSS Convention was held in Indiana in 2007, the year after WNS
appeared in the Northeast. No one was doing decon then, and there
were surely cavers from

Yep. But, that is the only huge example I know of.
The point has recently been made to me, that if the method of testing for the
OK bat gave an error, it is now unclear how accurate any of the data on the
spread from those years can be. The rumors of suspicious jumps are now even
harder
A llitle levity
