Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Greenish Naked-backed Fruit Bat is abundant throughout its distribution, and populations appear to be stable. It also appears to be well adapted to disturbed habitats. Hunting for local consumption is a threat in some areas, but main threat is continuing decline in extent and quality of lowland and hill forests.
