Grey-headed flying foxes and other species of flying foxes are being threatened by electrocution on powerlines, being shot, barb wire and netting entaglement and starvation due to a decrease in their own native foods which of course is due to human habitat clearing. Flying foxes are a vital species within our eco system. They are long range pollinator and seed dispersers. Many species of important trees rely on flying foxes for pollination. Also a number of native wildlife species rely on these trees as a source of food and survival. We all need to rally around these magnificent creatures to protect them and our diverse ecosystem. Flying fox extinction would have expansive consequences.
