About the recovery plan
The Recovery Plan for the Grey-headed Flying-fox Pteropus poliocephalus was prepared by the Australian Government and has been jointly made under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) with the South Australian Government as the national recovery plan for this species.
The purpose of this plan is to set out the management and research actions necessary to stop the decline of, and support the recovery of the Grey-headed Flying-fox over the next 10 years. Actions under this plan aim to improve the national population trend; identify, protect and increase key foraging and roosting habitat; improve the community’s capacity to coexist with flying-foxes; and increase awareness about flying-foxes, the threats they face and the important ecosystem services they provide as seed dispersers and pollinators.
