It is restricted to forest fragments in Sardinia (Italy). Since this species was first identified in 2002, it has been captured in only three localities, two in the same National Park. The population is probably very small, although more localities will probably be discovered in the future. Forests in Sardinia sum up to less than 2,000 km2, and their quality is declining. The Sardinian Long-eared Bat occurs in the most wooded areas parts of Sardinia, and roosts in natural caves. Two of the three known localities are situated in karstic areas, one locality lies near the sea coast (Mucedda et al. 2002). Artificial habitats are not used. It is a sedentary species. Roost disturbance (as a result of tourism) and habitat loss (caused by forestry management) are the main threats to the species. This species was first described in 2002 and is poorly known. It is considered to be rare. Decreasing The Sardinian Long-eared Bat (Plecotus sardus ) ;is restricted to the island of Sardinia (Italy). The three known localities are situated near to the coast or at low elevations. Terrestrial It is protected by national legislation in most range states. There are also international legal obligations for its protection through the Bonn Convention (Eurobats) and Bern Convention. It is included in Annex IV of EU Habitats &; Species Directive. Two of the three known localities are in the National Park of Gennargentu and the Orosei Gulf. Recommended research actions include surveys and monitoring to determine distribution, status, and population trend. Protection of roosting and foraging habitat is also recommended.
