Starving flying-foxes expose Australia's piecemeal wildlife crisis response
Original: Flying-foxes are turning up starving. Why are we still responding one crisis at a time? https:// theconversation.com/fly
Flying-foxes are turning up starving in Australia, a sign that food shortages linked to habitat loss and climate change are pushing the species into repeated emergencies. Writing in The Conversation, commentators argue that authorities and carers keep responding to each crisis individually instead of planning for the recurring heatwaves, flowering failures and famine events that increasingly hit the animals.
Why now: Ongoing climate-driven food shortages are causing another wave of starving flying-foxes, prompting debate over the lack of a long-term response plan.
