While it is locally threatened by hunting, this is not thought to be a major threat of this species across its range.	This species occurs in wide variety of vegetation types, such as dry deciduous forest, humid rainforest, degraded forest, plantations and agricultural areas (Goodman 1999, Eger and Mitchell 2003, Goodman et al. 2005, Rakotoarivelo and Randrianandriananina 2007), but requires the presence of suitable roost sites. It is not thought to be forest dependent, but is unlikely to forage in completely open areas (Goodman et al . 2005).	There are no major threats to the species. In Makira, this species is eaten by people (Golden 2005), but it is not known if this species is hunted in other parts of its range. It is probably not forest dependent, but is rarely netted in areas without vegetation stands.	It is locally abundant in cavities or rocky overhangs that provide suitable roosting features. A colony of approximately 4,000 was found in Makira (Bayliss and Hayes 1999).	Unknown	This species is found on Madagascar and the Comoros islands (Peterson et al. 1995). In Madagascar, it is widely distributed (Eger and Mitchell 2003, Goodman et al . 2005) and has a wide elevational range, from 20 to 1,500 m asl.		Terrestrial	This species occurs in many of the forest protected areas in western and eastern Madagascar and as such does not require specific conservation measures. Additional information on its ecology would be helpful to better understand how it responds to deforestation and roost disturbance. There is some uncertainty about the taxonomy of M. manavi and that this taxon is actually a complex of new species (F. Ratromomanarivo pers. comm). Further studies on morphology, acoustics and genetics are therefore needed.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023). Batnames.org Species List Version 1.4 (1.4).
