To determine threatening processes influencing the decline and westward contraction in the range of the Christmas Island Pipistrelle, roost sites need to be located along the eastern limit of the known range (Action 2). The following sites in the centre of the island where bat activity was recorded in 1998 (from Lumsden et al. 1999) should be targeted for this work.
