Just a reminder, we are still collecting the data of how many flying foxes have perished in this starvation crisis. The statistics are extremely important for us to submit to government agencies to show the extent and environmental and ecological impacts and request something be done.
Our service area for data collection is Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla, Bega, Southern Highlands, Southern Tablelands. If outside of this area, please see the IFAW app to locate your nearest rescue organisation. If already reported to us, those numbers are already documented and don't need to be reported again.
Please donโt use this reporting method to report any urgent rescues of live bats or it will be missed.
By filling out the form to report, it frees up our hotline number to take urgent calls and our rescuers so they can focus on the 100+ flying foxes in care.
Thank you
