Importance of flying foxes

Bats or flying foxes play a critical role helping to keep our native forests healthy.

Bats or flying-foxes play a critical role helping to keep our native forests healthy.

Top reasons why we need flying-foxes

Did you know some trees, like Australian eucalypts, only flower at night and depend on flying-foxes for survival to pollinate their flowers and spread their seeds?

Without flying-foxes, there would be no food and shelter for our koalas, no pristine habitat for our native birds, and no magnificent forests for all of us to enjoy.

So now, more than ever, we need to find ways to co-exist with this incredibly important native species.

Watch this YouTube video to find out why bats are so important.
