There is no empirical data on population trends for this species, but because natural roosting and foraging habitat has been cleared or degraded in over half of its range, it is reasonable to infer that there has been a significant reduction in population size since colonial expansion from the late 1800s. Although vegetation clearance has mostly ceased, threats continue to operate on an already impacted population. It is therefore reasonable to infer that there has been a historical and continuing reduction in population size in some areas. Listed here as Least Concern, but there is uncertainty about the direction, rate and magnitude of population trends.</span></p>	<p>Ozimops kitcheneri ranges throughout native bushland, agricultural and urban areas. It is found from the semi-arid eucalypt woodlands to higher rainfall forests in the far south-west, and probably relies on patches of remnant vegetation and isolated paddock trees in agricultural lands for roosting habitat. It roosts in tree hollows, but is reported commonly roosting in buildings. Ozimops kitcheneri forages in open spaces above the canopy and between trees (McKenzie and Bullen 2008, Reardon et al . 2014).</p>	<p>The loss of hollow-bearing trees for roosting, and the loss of foraging habitat from clearance for cropping and grazing agriculture and associated threats to remaining vegetation communities resulting from soil degradation, wildfire and inappropriate burning are past and ongoing threats. ;Potential threats include pesticide and herbicide poisoning, and competition from bees and birds for natural roosting hollows.</p>	<p>The population size of O. kitcheneri is not known, but given that it remains commonly recorded in suitable habitats throughout its distribution (McKenzie and Bullen 2008), it is reasonable to surmise that the current population size must be at least 35,000 based on the expectation that there would be at minimum of an average of one mature bat per 10 km² across the range. ;This figure is likely to be a underestimate.</p><p><span lang="EN-US">There is no empirical measure of population trend from the last three generations (24 years), or a quantitative prediction for the next three generations. Extensive habitat clearance in the past, and degradation from agriculture, mining, grazing and wildfire across the distribution is likely to have had a major impact on the overall population size. Large-scale clearing has largely ceased, although wildfire, soil erosion and salinity continue to cause native vegetation loss, and this may continue to have impacts in areas where local population densities are small. The ;population trend may therefore be one of decline but this is not confirmed.</p>	Unknown	<p>This species is recorded from the Southwest Australia Ecoregion of Western Australia, to the coast south of 28.5 S and west of 124 E. About half of this distribution coincides with the wheat belt, agricultural and coastal regions where it is estimated that 80% of the original native vegetation has been cleared since the 1850s. The north-eastern half lies in the Coolgardie IBRA Bioregion where mining, grazing and fire have had a severe impact on soils and native vegetation. Relatively undisturbed woodlands and forest occur in the far south-west of the distribution. Many parks and reserves are set aside across the distribution. </p> <p>The distribution of Ozimmops kitcheneri overlaps with that of O. petersi , and while females of these two species are difficult to distinguish based on external morphology, males are identified readily from penile shape characters. Since both these species were included in O. planiceps prior to the taxonomic revision of Reardon et al. (2014), there are many locality records on current databases that have not been properly assigned to either. While the estimate of extent of occurrence is considered to be good, despite being based on only 20 scattered localities, it is difficult to make any real assessment of area of occupancy until the many available records can be examined and verified.</p>		Terrestrial	<p><span lang="EN-US">There are no specific conservation programmes directed at this species, but it occurs in many national parks and conservation reserves.</p>	Australasian		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N.
