The 4th National Flying-fox Forum was held in Canberra from the 13-14th November. The forum was attended by 89 individuals from local, state and federal government, research institutions, NRM groups, NGO, wildlife care organisations and conservation groups. Delegates were invited to a dusk networking event at Commonwealth Park.
The forum began with a keynote speech from Dr David Westcott (CSIRO, Land and Water), followed by updates by government representatives from ACT Government, Department of Environment and Energy, National Capital Authority, Department of Environment and Science, Government of South Australia and NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.
Further presentations explored topics including modelling population trends, flying-fox health, mitigating and managing heat stress, and the effectiveness of flying-fox education in Australian communities. The forum also undertook two ‘Break Out’ sessions on flying-fox dispersal techniques, learnings and lessons, and translocation protocols for rescued bats.
