Conservation
The black flying fox is not listed as threatened on the IUCN Red List; nevertheless, the species is exposed to several threats, including loss of foraging and roosting habitat, and mass die-offs caused by extreme temperature events. (end of old text) Because climate change will only make temperatures hotter, the impacts this species faces will only grow into a larger problem. According to one study, these animals begin to die once temperatures reach above 40 C. Another study found heat stress to be one of the main threats to this species which highlights the conservation value to try and prevent rising temperatures. (end of added text) When present in urban environments, black flying foxes are sometimes perceived as a nuisance. Because their roosting and foraging habits bring the species into conflict with humans, it suffers from direct killing of animals in orchards and harassment and destruction of roosts. In Indonesia, this species is frequently consumed as bushmeat, with concerns that the population loss might not be sustainable.
