Acknowledgments
The Editors and Editorial Panel wish to thank Environment Australia for funding the preparation of this Action Plan through the Endangered Species Program.
This Action Plan could not have been prepared without the assistance of many members of the Australasian bat research community, who generously contributed their knowledge and time. The Editors and Editorial Panel are extremely grateful to all those who helped and especially to those who responded to our many requests for extra information. A full list of people who contributed to preparation of this Action Plan can be found in Appendix B.
The considerable work of Greg Richards and Les Hall, who prepared earlier drafts of the Action Plan and provided access to their personal records, is also acknowledged. We are also grateful to Andrew Burbidge, Sally Bryant, Sue Churchill, Roger Coles, Peggy Eby, Murray Ellis, Les Hall, Greg Richards, Dick Schodde, Martin Schulz, Chris Tidemann, Jeremy Thompson, Bruce Thomson and Michael Vardon who provided detailed comment on the final draft.
