(Bar opens at 6:30pm) Our guest speaker this year is Matthew Mo who is a senior threatened species officer with the New South Wales Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, primarily working on flying-fox conservation and management. His topic is Flying Fox Ecology, Conservation and Management Conserving flying-foxes and addressing human flying-fox conflicts is hugely complex. The grey-headed flying-fox, in particular, is listed as a vulnerable species and faces several threats. Ultimately making a difference is going to require a huge number of stakeholders, including the Wolli Creek Preservation Society, continuing to contribute to flying-fox conservation and management. This presentation will take you on a refresher on flying-fox ecology and explore what’s currently happening, including the National Flying-fox Monitoring Program, research projects and initiatives to improve how the general public perceive flying-foxes. Come and support the Wolli Creek Preservation Society and participate in - our fun Trivia Quizz - raffles and a silent auction.
