conservation
Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. Current population trend of the Siberut Flying Squirrel is decreasing. It is thought to occupy an area ofless than 1200 km? where preferred habitat is being rapidly degraded by conversion to agriculture and logging. Very little is known about the Siberut Flying Squirrel, hampering conservation efforts, and it does not occur in any protected areas. High rates of fragmentation are great risks because Siberut Flying Squirrels may be hesitant to disperse across open ground and have limited gliding abilities. Isolation of small populations will increase risk of inbreeding and increase probability of population decline.
