The National Red List Project

Please note, this National Red List website contains a subset of data whilst we transition to national focal point driven data uploads. We thank you for your patience with this and welcome national contributors to get in touch to update their national dataset. Terms of Use including citation guidance are found here.

The previous dataset is available via: https://archive.nationalredlist.org/. This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

Very little known about this bat, and appears to be everywhere rare. Could easily be confused with P. nanus which it resembles. We have a recent specimen from Buhamba so presume single location in remnant forests of Albertine Rift
