Flying Fox Release Enclosure FNQ

Spectacled Flying Foxes of Far North Queensland are in critical decline.  Current predictions have the species extinct in 10 years.  They are a key-stone species..vital polinators and seed dispersers of our Rainforest.  Without them the Rainforest will collapse.  We as rescuers and carers of hundreds of orphan Flying Foxes each birthing season constantly have the stress of rehabilitating and releasing these orphans each year.

Releasing these orphans (around 9 months old), takes many resources, which we as carers provide out of our own funds.

With substantial habitat loss, we are now at a point where a suitable release facility needs to be built.  We have found the perfect piece of land, in the forest, away from people,  and powerlines, this property is also home at certain times of the year to a resident roost colony of Spectacled Flying Foxes.  One of the dedicated carers owns this land and is willing to have the responsibility of having the release enclosure on her land.  We need to build a release enclosure to help us give our hand raised orphans the best chance to be released successfully back into the wild.

Please help us achieve this goal, please help us get the hundreds of orphans we raise and rehabilitate back into the wild sucessfully.  The funds raised will go to purchasing supplies to build the enclosure, to purchase supplies to help purchase fruit, protein powders and other essential items needed to help successfully release our little orphans.

Please help us to help the Spectacled Flying Fox species survive.
