Litter size of the Greater Mascarene Flying Fox is one, exceptionally two. Mating starts in April-May, and births occur in August-December (peak in October) after gestation of 4:6-6-3 months when commercial plants (e.g. mango and litchi) are fruiting. Mating couples generally copulate well out of sight from main roosting groups.

CITES Appendix II. Classified as Endangered on The [UCN Red List. Population of the Greater Mascarene Flying Fox declined more than 50% in the last few years to a current estimate of ¢.37,000 individuals chiefly due to a governmentimplemented culling in 2015 and 2016 (30,938 and 7350 bats killed, respectively). Illegal hunting and accidental deaths from collisions with powerlines (6000 bats in 2016) are also threats. Habitat loss, increased risks of major cyclones, and introduction of competing alien animals such as Long-tailed Macaques (Macaca fascicularis) affect its current status. It occurs in Black River Gorges National Park, butthis did not protect them from culling. It recolonized
