Resolving human-flying fox conflict in the face of environmental change. This project aims to identify socially-acceptable priority areas to be managed for the long-term viability of flying-foxes under a changing climate, and develop strategies to mitigate human-flying fox conflict, using ecological and social analysis in a decision-theoretic framework. Flying-foxes are nationally protected mammals pivotal to Australia’s forest ecosystems, but are threatened by habitat loss, extreme weather and legal culls at orchards. Their exceptional mobility puts them in frequent conflict with human settlements, leading to forced dispersals from roosts. Anticipated outcomes are the conservation of Australia’s flying-foxes and international understanding of how to resolve human conflict with highly mobile species that are threatened but locally abundant and controversial.

面对环境变化解决人与狐蝠的冲突。该项目旨在确定社会可接受的优先领域，以确保狐蝠在气候变化下的长期生存能力，并在决策理论框架中利用生态和社会分析，制定缓解人与狐蝠冲突的战略。狐蝠是国家保护的哺乳动物，对澳大利亚森林生态系统至关重要，但受到栖息地丧失、极端天气和果园合法捕杀的威胁。它们异常的流动性使它们经常与人类住区发生冲突，导致它们被迫离开栖息地。预期成果是保护澳大利亚狐蝠，以及国际社会对如何解决人类与高度流动物种的冲突的理解，这些物种受到威胁，但当地数量丰富且有争议。
