Education is really helping - people are definitely becoming more aware of why flying-foxes are so vital to the environment. We didn’t damage the environment doing it, and it only cost 15 Batty Bucks!
However, educating people about flying-foxes doesn’t help the situation right now - Sam and their neighbourhood are not coping. We haven’t helped the situation at all and there are a lot of stressed out people.
So education is a valuable tool to help people recognise why flying-foxes are so important to the environment – but it doesn’t improve the situation for Sam or anyone living nearby right now.
We need to try a different approach – at least for our first option. So let’s have another go.
Would you like to try the dispersal method? Head to episode 5.
To create a buffer, go to episode 6.
And to build a new habitat, pop on over to episode 7.
