There is no such thing as compromise, when it comes to
protecting caves and karst.

Once a cave is impacted – its biota, its water flow and quality, its habitat capacity – it will not be back to health any time soon.

Don’t compromise, and don’t negotiate for “win-win.”
There’s no such thing in cave and karst conservation and protection.

Roger Brucker puts it this way: “There’s no right way
to do the wrong thing.”
