| Rhinolophus Paradoxolophus
pen & ink on A6 paper
Until recently, Bourret's Horseshoe
Bat (Rhinolophus paradoxolophus) was known only
from two sites in SE-Asia and was considered a
threatened species. Recent surveys have located
several new populations in forested karst areas
in north Vietnam however, so there is renewed
hope for long term conservation of the species.
As R. paradoxolophus appears to dwell exclusively
within forest interior habitats however, it remains
vulnerable to the effects of continued forest
degradation within its range.
