Bergmans and van Strien (2004) record that "the type specimen was mist netted in Miombo woodland at an elevation of 1,000 m, over a stream between two water berry trees, Syzygium cordatum Hochst., in fruit (Bergmans et al. 1983)". Furthermore, they state that "the vegetation of Lifupa Camp, the locality where the female paratype was collected (exact elevation unknown, but between 1,000 and 1,100 m) is Miombo woodland with Brachystegia and Julbernardia (Bergmans et al. 1983)". Bergmans and van Strien (2004) note that "they have no reason to believe that the species is in any danger but at the same time the available data are few and between 43 and 16 years old". It is only known from a few specimens. Unknown This species is currently only known from Malawi, where it has been collected in the Kasungu National Park (collected in 1982 and 1988) and (most probably) the Karonga area (collected in 1961) (Bergmans and van Strien 2004). Terrestrial Current conservation efforts The species has been recorded from the Kasungu National Park in Malawi. Further field surveys are needed to better understand the distribution range, threats and conservation status of this species. Conservation needs/priorities Studies are needed on the species’ population sizes, distribution, and extent of occurrence throughout its range. Monitoring of population sizes and locations over time are also important to establish whether these are stable or experiencing trends of decline. The threats to these bats are poorly understood. Studies are needed on the species’ habitat requirements and on the effects of forest loss and degradation on the species’ population sizes/distribution. Research is also needed on the amount of hunting and the level of bushmeat trade, and the effects of that hunting on population sizes and persistence. Effective roost site protection efforts are needed to minimize disturbance and protect colonies. Similar to most threatened flying foxes, local capacity building for conservation managers and education and awareness within local communities are greatly needed to support conservation efforts.
