Show Notes
Grey-headed flying foxes contribute up to $955 million annually to Australias timber industry through seed dispersal, covering an area the size of Sweden in tree planting and pollination. Despite human-bat conflicts, these megabats are crucial for Australias biodiversity, with their loss potentially causing barren scars visible from space. The study underscores the need for cooling efforts and protection, as heatwaves and land clearing threaten their survival.
