SA Power Networks install animal guards on power pole tops to reduce animal injuries

SA Power Networks install animal guards on the tops of power poles to stop Grey Headed Flying Foxes (bats) and other animals from getting injured and causing power outages.

This is a great initiative. Great to reduce outages but I love that it will help avoid native animal life deaths as well. Fantastic!

I wanted to talk about this technology to someone who supports an animal shelter, but where are you?

@SAPowerNetworks I did read this and was confused how they are a protected native species yet we have had a massive growth in their numbers. What has changed? Also why are they protected if their numbers are at the point of becoming a pest?
