Assessment rationale/justification
Significant decline globally especially East Africa. Cave and cavity roosting bats concentrate in large numbers, specialized roosting makes them vulnerable. No recent records available so presume decline despite no obvious threats in Parks. AOO 791km but very rare so would warrant higher status
