Grant Activity:
Improving conservation management outcomes for the grey-headed flying-fox
Purpose:
The grey-headed flying fox (GHFF) is a vulnerable species threatened by extreme events and resultant habitat loss, exemplified by Australias recent mega-fires.
We propose three distinct projects to improve conservation management of the GHFF throughout its bushfire-affected range:
1) Population monitoring: Capitalise on the new methodology developed by the research team to monitor flying foxes (FFs) at nationally important camps.
2) Foraging resource mapping: Develop remotely sensed landscape-scale nectar availability maps to highlight spatially explicit targets for habitat conservation and restoration.
3) Heat stress mitigation: Test the efficacy of roost microclimate manipulation for mitigating heat stress.
