Monitoring of cassowaries and spectacled flying foxes provides valuable information on population sizes and trends, the distribution of their populations, their habitat requirements, and threats to their survival.

The project will:

• Improve monitoring methods for endangered species
• Update data on cassowary abundance and distribution
• Determine the size of and distribution of the flying fox population and
• Inform decision makers in agriculture, urban planning and biosecurity
