Murina tenebrosa
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Murina tenebrosa faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Southeast Asian montane forests. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have destroyed critical roosting sites in limestone caves and old-growth forest areas. The species' highly specialized habitat requirements and small population size make it extremely vulnerable to even minor environmental disturbances.
Habitat
This species inhabits primary montane forests at elevations between 1,000-2,000 meters, typically roosting in limestone caves and rock crevices. It forages in the forest canopy and understory of undisturbed tropical montane ecosystems.
