In 2001 Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and the Australian Natural Heritage Trust released a recovery plan for three species of cave dwelling bat Rhinolophus philippinesis, Hipposideros semoni, and Taphozous troughtoni. The objectives of the plan were to clarify the taxonomic status of the three species, ensure the primary roosting and maternity sites were maintained for all species, and to document aspects of the species ecology in order to develop appropriate NRM actions.
