The US-based nonprofit filed a petition with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to list the Javan slit-faced bat under the Endangered Species Act, warning that consumers are buying taxidermied bats for decoration. The centre notes that US consumers seek these bats particularly for gothic or spooky Halloween and Christmas decorations, placing the species at risk of extinction.
