The population size is inferred to be declining due to persecution as a pest species, hunting by feral cats, and continued decline in the extent and quality of its habitat. The species is also killed at wind farms.	There is little information available on the natural history of this species. Flannery (1995) mentions that he did not capture the species while mist-netting in forest, and suggests that it prefers more open habitats. The holotype was collected in a house (Flannery 1995). Known colonies are roof-roosting (F. Brescia pers. comm.), but the species was also found on mining sites on the extreme southern end of Grande Terre, far from humans, suggesting the species is more ubiquitous than previously known ;and may also roost in forest and ;maquis (dense shrub) ;habitats. There is presumed to be a continuing decline in the quality and extent of the species habitat.	The New Caledonia Wattled Bat is threatened by habitat loss and direct human persecution as it is considered to be a pest roosting in roofs. The species has been killed by wind turbine (Millon et al. 2018) and it is predated by introduced species (cats) (F Brescia comm. Pers).	The New Caledonia Wattled Bat is known from relatively specimens (Tidemann 1986, Flannery 1995), and several efforts to locate the species during the 1990s were unsuccessful. More recently, colonies have been discovered in human structures including in Hienghène (Kirsch et al. 2002), in Païta and Sarraméa (in 2004 and 2005), in the capital of Noumea, and across the island (Millon and Brescia 2017).  Limited data are available to precisely track trends in the species population but the species single panmictic population is inferred to have a slow, but significant decline in the number of mature individuals as the species is persecuted for roosting in buildings, hunted by feral cats, and through the continuing decline in the extent and quality of natural habitats. The largest roosts have between 200 and 500 individuals (F. Brescia pers. comm.) and the estimated number of mature individuals is between 1,500 and 2,000 bats. Careful monitoring of the species known colonies is needed to better understand the species population trends.	Decreasing	<p></p>The New Caledonia Wattled Bat is endemic to the island of Grande Terre, New Caledonia (Flannery 1995, Simmons 2005). Recent research has recorded ;the species ;across ;the island ;and it is considered more ubiquitous ;than previously thought (Millon and Brescia 2017). ;The species is now known to roost in roofs of many human structures where its presence can be a nuisance to people. Further, Chalinolobus was recorded on nickel mines in the extreme south of New Caledonia, far from human presence, inferring that the species may be able to roost on forest habitat.	The species is not known to be traded or used.	Terrestrial	The species is not known to be present in any protected areas. Information about the population numbers, distribution, taxonomy, ecology, current status, and threats are all vital. Identification and protection of suitable areas of habitat is also needed.
