Article Synopsis
- Monitoring is essential for improving the status of threatened species, as it provides baseline data to track their distribution and abundance.
- Bats in the genus Pteropus are threatened by habitat loss, human conflict, and hunting, yet few are monitored due to challenges like high mobility and disturbance in their habitats.
- A 10-year study of Australia's grey-headed flying-fox found the population remained stable, emphasizing the importance of long-term monitoring for understanding and managing nomadic and long-lived species.
Where threatened biodiversity is adversely affected by development, policies often state that "no net loss" should be the goal and biodiversity offsetting is one mechanism available to achieve this. However, developments are often approved on an ad hoc basis and cumulative impacts are not sufficiently examined. We demonstrate the potential for serious threat to an endangered subspecies when multiple developments are planned.
