Survey microbats on Pemba, Unguja, and Mafia Islands off mainland Tanzania to identify the diversity of bat species, current status, and threats to the roosts and feeding habitats. These data will be compared with similar assessments being undertaken on other Indian Ocean Islands including Madagascar.
