Of the approximately 1,100 species of bat that live worldwide, livingstone’s fruit bat is one of the largest and faces the greatest risk of extinction.

In the islands of the Comoros where it lives, precious little forest remains – the islands are also home to a poor and rapidly expanding human population. If areas that the bats depend on for their survival are not protected, this amazing species faces the risk of extinction in the near future.
