This six-week Plan, finalised in October 2014, was prepared for the Environmental Defenders Office of Northern Queensland (EDO NQ). It aims to communicate to EDO NQ and other interested parties the potential for a Communication Tool to reach the key decision-makers listed in the Plan. Its objective is to raise awareness of the important contribution the Cairns Central Business District (CBD) spectacled flying-fox (SFF) (Pteropus conspicillatus) camp makes towards Cairns’ ‘green’ image and the associated potential for bat eco-tourism/education (statement of purpose). As will be explained, the emphasis is on Cairns’ green image and eco-tourism/education rather than ecological factors.
