Project Description
Flying foxes play a crucial part in the bushland around the Sunshine Coast area. They are responsible for spreading the seeds of several plants in the local ecosystem. Human development has however put these animals at risk, as they risk losing their habitat and therefore harming the local biodiversity.
While official datasets exists, due to the thousands of entries they contain, it can be difficult for conservationists to extrapolate any trends or meaning from it.
My graph automation program aims to make the data surrounding these populations more accessible to researchers as well as to the general public. You only have to type in what species of flying fox you want to access data on, and which roost they live in, and you can get all of the data visualised in the form of a line graph.
