The Cretan population may belong to a separate species.</p>	20000000	Pipistrellus hanaki	Vulnerable	A2c	2020	2019-07-19 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Pipistrellus hanaki is listed as Vulnerable under criterion A2c as its global population is suspected to have declined by an estimated 31-35% over the past 15.6 years (three generations; generation length = 5.2 years, Pacifici et al. 2013). Its habitat has declined and is projected to continue declining due to continuing threats from the loss of older trees upon which the species depends and habitat loss and degradation resulting from war in the region. Further, the two populations, one in Crete and one in Libya, are likely to be highly isolated as this bat has a small home range radius of ca 3-4 km.	In Libya, the species appears to be restricted to Mediterranean coastal habitats and has been recorded in Mediterranean forest, shrubland, mosaics of shrubland and agricultural land (including pastures and fields) (Aulagnier and Benda 2013, Aulagnier and Palmeirim 2008). It is found in valleys or ravines with flowing water in the wet season and also highlands (Aulagnier and Benda 2013). In Libya, females were recorded as heavily pregnant in late May, suggesting reproductive synchrony (Aulagnier and Benda 2013). On Crete Pipistrellus hanaki uses a range of roost types, including rock crevices, trees and buildings. In shrublands, they are only found roosting in rock crevices or buildings. The biggest known colony (ca 15 individuals) was located in a house roof, under the tiles. Radiotracking showed that Quercus forest stands and old tree cultivations are largely preferred for foraging, while open areas, young Cypress stands and Mediterranean maquis are avoided. Although it has been found roosting inside villages, they are used as foraging grounds only if they maintain a high number of old trees. On Crete, lactating females were trapped in late June and flying young were recorded in early July, placing births in June.	Approximately half of this bat's global distribution is in a war zone. How this may affect this species is unknown. On Crete, it roosts in buildings and other man-made structures are threatened by demolition, renovation works etc. Roosts in trees are threatened by logging for firewood, expansion of cultivations and replacement of old olive trees, residential and commercial development and fire. Foraging sites are degrading due to similar reasons plus overgrazing. The proposed future mass expansion of Wind farms all over Crete is expected to affect the species population.	Although the data are very limited, the global population is suspected to be declining due to habitat loss. Currently, the species appears to be widespread on Crete where it has been found in several tens of localities, mostly in the west and the centre of the island (Benda et al. 2008, Georgiakakis and Russo 2012, Georgiakakis et al. 2018).	Decreasing	This species is only known from a restricted range in North Africa, where it occurs only eight localities in Mediterranean coastal habitat in Cyrenaica region of Libya (Benda et al.   2004, Aulagnier and Benda 2013), and the island of Crete (Benda et al.   2008, Georgiakakis and Russo 2012). Extensive surveys have not documented the species on any additional islands in the Mediterranean.		Terrestrial	Currently, there are no conservation actions are in place for this species. Known roost sites and areas important for roosting and foraging should be protected. Older trees should be protected as there are rare within the species range and may provide important roosts in the future.  Research is needed to clarify taxonomy and better determine the species’ distribution, population size and trend, ecological requirements and threats.
