Abstract
Borneo is the third largest island in the world and holds a big variety of flora and fauna including bats. The diversity of bats in this island has been progressively documented by several authors but most of these data are outdated thus prompting the attempt to document current and previous chiropteran diversity in Sarawak using mist-nets and harp traps and cross reference check on previous literature available. The results shows that protected areas in Sarawak are rich and diverse in terms of chiropteran diversity and submontane areas that are unexplored previously do hold distinct chiroptera composition. Severely logged areas do pose a threat to the overall diversity of bats with generalist are more viable to survive than those with specialized habitat requirements. Overall the vegetation in terms of forest types elevation and level of disturbance is a factor determining the diversity of bats in a particular area.
