ONCE again the Royal Zoological Society of NSW has collated a set of informative papers on a controversial wildlife management topic: how to manage the Grey-headed Flying-fox Pteropus poliocephalus as a threatened species in New South Wales. The management of this migratory species poses a complex set of problems to government, conservation agencies, and the horticultural industry given a recent decision to upgrade this species from "protected" to "threatened".

Flying Fox

THE grey-headed flying fox Pteropus poliocephalus is managed simultaneously under two contrasting paradigms in New South Wales (NSW), as a threatened species and as a pest in orchards and at camps in some urban centres. Many authors have called attention to the lack of understanding of the species and the obstacle this may pose for conservation efforts. Managing the grey-headed flying-fox as a threatened species in NSW was produced as a result of a forum held on the 28th of July 2001 by the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales. It provides a comprehensive and up-todate review of management strategies for the species, in the context of recent legislative changes.
