It is tolerant of degraded habitats and occurs in a number of protected areas; its population is unlikely to be significantly declining.	The Philippine Pygmy Fruit Bat inhabits lowland and montane, ultramafic forest (Duya et al. 2020) primary and secondary habitats, including mossy forest, and mixed agricultural habitats and second-growth forest and old reforestation areas (Fidelino et al. 2020). It exhibits an 8- month delay in embryo development which gives a gestation period of 11.5 months, the longest known in bats (Heideman 1989). Females can become pregnant at the age of three to five months (Heideman 1989). The species is an important seed distributor.	Deforestation is a primary threat to H. fischeri as lowland populations have declined in recent decades as a result of habitat destruction by logging, and conversion to intensive agriculture, whereas highland populations with more intact forests have not been as badly affected.	The population is suspected to have an ongoing low-level decline from deforestation. This is one of the most common fruit bats in primary forest, especially at middle elevations, H. fischeri is often moderately common in secondary forest, and is also present in mixed agricultural habitats and second-growth forest (Heaney et al. 1998), old reforestation areas planted with exotic species, located adjacent to secondary forest, but in low abundance (Fidelino et al. 2020) and Ultramafic forest (Duya et al. 2020). Within forest the species abundance usually increases with elevation up to about 1,200–1,500 m asl, and then declines (Heaney et al. 1989, 1991, 1998, 2006; Heideman and Heaney 1989; Rickart et al. 1993). Patterns of abundance on Luzon are similar to those on other islands, but they are less abundant there overall. In a 2003 mist net survey on Mount Apo, Mindanao, H. fischeri was common at lower elevation mossy-montane forest that had been subjected to habitat alteration (Jackosalem et al. unpublished report). Heaney et al . 2016 reported population density of the species to be about 3.7/hectare in southern Negros between 860–1,100 m. The species is the most frequently recaptured fruit bat in an old-growth lowland forest at 415 m in Palanan, Isabela (Duya pers. comm).	Stable	Haplonycteris fischeri is endemic to the Philippines. It is widespread through most of the country, excluding the Camiguin, Palawan, and Batanes/Babuyan faunal regions. It has been recorded from Biliran, Bohol, Catanduanes, Cebu (Cebu Cloud Forest Reserve) Dinagat, Leyte, Luzon (Albay, Aurora, Bataan, Cagayan, Camarines Sur, Isabela, Laguna, Quezon, Quirino, Tarlac, and Zambales provinces), Marinduque, Mindanao (Agusan del Norte, Bukidnon, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Lanao del Norte (R. Pamaong pers. comm. 2006), Misamis Occidental, Misamis Oriental, South Cotabato, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte, and Zamboanga del Sur provinces), Mindoro, Negros, Panay, Palaui, and Samar (J.C. Gonzalez pers. comm. 2006) (Heaney et al. 1998). The record from Palawan reported by Kock (1969) is probably erroneous, which is supported by recent failure to record this species on Palawan Island despite extensive netting there (Esselstyn et al . 2004, L. Heaney pers. comm. 2006). Records are from 150–2,250 m (Heaney et al . 1998).		Terrestrial	Haplonycteris fischeri occurs in a number of protected areas.
