Carlsbad Caverns: No Photography

The National Park Service has taken the extreme step to forbid photography inside the famed Carlsbad Caverns. The Park Service wants to prevent further disruption to the native bats that inhabit the caves. Despite strong enforcement, visitors persisted in using flash and bright video lights that caused disorientation to the bats during their evening flights.

Actually the release says that cameras will be prohibited at the evening bat program. It says nothing about photography inside the caverns.
