Deforestation and hunting are the primary reasons that put flying foxes at risk of extinction. Hunting and trapping the fruit bats were once common among locals, known for their tasty meat.

As a result, the population of flying foxes has drastically dropped, making them endangered species. Conservationists should play a significant role in protecting these animals from facing extinction. Show more
