conservation
Status and Conservation. Not assessed on The IUCN Red List. The Mindoro Pallid Flying Fox is a narrow endemic of lowland Mindoro known from just two localities. It has been commonly found in secondary forests and highly disturbed agricultural areas with patchy forest remnants. This suggests adaptability to modified environments, which might be key for its survival in highly deforested Mindoro. It is likely best categorized as Data Deficient and in need of studies to determine actual status. It was captured in immediate vicinity of Mounts Iglit-Baco National Park, Mindoro.
