Heat stress data form

Flying-fox heat-stress data form

Back to forecaster

Please fill out this form if you have information about how flying-fox camps have fared in recent heatwaves (this applies to both affected and unaffected camps).

Your inputs will help build a centralised repository of flying-fox heat stress events. From this, we can develop a comprehensive understanding of the vulnerability of flying-foxes to extreme heat events, and provide a much-needed evidence base for management and conservation (for details see here). It will also help reveal the enormous scale of the public service that wildlife rescuers and rehabilitators provide during these events, which is important for generating much-needed government support initiatives.
