FNQ friends - keep an eye out for our Conservation Manager Tanya on the news tonight (Channel 7 and WIN News). We are celebrating QTFNs latest property acquisition in Smiths Gap, north of Tully.
The property purchased with Mission Beach’s C4 organisation, is part of a significant biodiversity and wildlife corridor for the endangered southern cassowary and many tropical rainforest plants and animals. #QTFN #habitatprotection

The Spectacled flying-fox has been transferred from vulnerable to endangered this week under the EPBC Act. An extreme heatwave in far north Queensland in November 2018 is estimated to have killed more than 23,000 Spectacled flying-foxes, almost one third of the species in Australia. Let's hope recovery actions can be prioritised including increased support for wildlife carers who do such an important job.

We use to save these on the Atherton Tablelands whilst their parents were struck down and dying from paralysis ticks the babies would slowly starve to death and were often found on the forest floor riddled with lice and maggots. I am one of the lucky ones who helped my parents and others to save these gorgeous little critters and release them back to the wild ... back in the 1980s.
Not being mean but why are they protected? They spread diseases that kill and they smell horrendous. I heard they are protected because they help build rain forests... Townsville doesn't have rain forests and I doubt one will grow on my car bonnet as the paint peels off due to the acidic content of the faeces.
