The Pelew flying fox (Pteropus pelewensis) is a species of megabat in the Pteropus genus found in the Pelew Islands.[2] The species is listed as "Near Threatened" by the IUCN due to commercial and small-scale hunting; commercial hunting for the species was banned in 1994, but local exploitation is commonplace. The species is listed on CITES appendix I.[1]
