Please Report Flying-Fox Electrocutions

Adult victims rarely survive their injuries

The vast majority of bats found electrocuted on powerlines are mothers carrying their babies. Adult victims rarely survive their injuries – 99.9% mortality rate. Please check for baby animals, during the months of October to January. What you can do: – Quickly report electrocutions with: type of wildlife, pole number OR house number, street and suburb – Report animals quickly so other animals are not also drawn to their death – Look for and report any live babies – Support underground electrical cables – Report areas which regularly kill wildlife in overhead wiring More information about bat electrocution can be found by clicking here
