ABSTRCT: Bats are very important for the ecosystem including for pollination as well as the spread of plants. Forest clearing for plantation becomes a threat to bats to fine food in fruits trees,specially frugivorous bats (Pteropodidae). The aim of this study is to determine the speciesdiversity of frugivorous bats (Pteropodidae) in the area of Thang Raya Cave in Subdistrictof Beduai Sanggau Regency West Kalimantan, and the results of this study are expected toprovide information about the types of frugivorous bats (Pteropodidae) that can be used inecosystem management in the region of Thang Raya Cave.
