Population number

The Mongalla free-tailed bat is listed as being of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to its large range, assumably large population, and lack of significant population decline. However, its population is currently thought to be decreasing. It occurs in some protected areas, such as the Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by the cutting of large trees it roosts in, along with desertification in the north of its range.
