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

Assessment rationale/justification
Very sparsely distributed and rarely seen - presume lower density than Senrengeti Mara ecosystem. Only one geographical region of Uganda. Historical records for Pian Upe and KVNP. Presume a decline, due to likelihood of disease and also due to lack of sightings in previous range. Numbers likely to be very small - occur in isolated pairs. Genetic continuity may also be a problem but range unknown. If numbers known may be upgraded
