b. Scott’s Mouse- eared Bat ( Myotis scotti View in CoL )
This bat species is endemic to the highlands of Ethiopia on both sides of the Ethiopian Rift Valley (see below). Its habitats are Afro-montane Forest and shrubland. Its populations are severely fragmented.
Scott’s mouse- eared Bat was assessed as a Vulnerable species with regard to its conservation status. Habitat fragmentation and conversion are the major threat to the conservation of this species.
The elevation range of this species is 1 300 – 2500 masl in Ethiopia. Part of the project area (around Metu) falls in the geographic extent of this species (see below). But the remaining areas of the project are outside of the geographic range of this species.
