Habitat:
The species has been found in or adjacent to forest (sea level to 1,300 m), in both primary and secondary forest (Vinciguerra and Muller 1993). Previously it was thought to be confined to high-quality forest, but additional observations have shown it to be somewhat tolerant to a wider range of habitats than previously suspected, having been recorded from degraded habitats on Negros, and persisting in very degraded habitats on Cebu. During recent collections, the species has tended to be found near bodies of water.
Range:
The Philippine Tube-nosed Fruit Bat is endemic to the Philippines, where it is restricted to the islands of Cebu (Vinciguerra and Muller 1993), Negros and Sibuyan; it might also occur in Panay, although there has been a lack of sampling there to confirm this (L. Heaney pers. comm. 2006). The species may have been recorded from Karakelong in the Talaud Islands (Indonesia), and on Siao and Greater Sangihe in the Sangihe Islands (Indonesia) (K. Helgen pers. comm.), but these records represent tentative identifications.
The elevational range is from sea level to 1,300 m asl. On Negros Island, Nyctimene rabori is known to occur in the North Negros Forest Reserve (Tamblyn et al. 2005), in Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park and Banban, Ayungon Forests (Cariño 2004), and the Mount Kanlaon Natural Park (Deligero et al. 2016). It is also known from several Important Bird Areas on Cebu (Alburo 2017).

Conservation:
The species is known to occur in protected areas. On Negros Island, Nyctimene rabori is known to occur in the North Negros Forest Reserve (Tamblyn et al. 2005), in Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park and Banban, Ayungon Forests (Cariño 2004), and the Mount Kanlaon Natural Park (Deligero et al. 2016). It is also known from several Important Bird Areas on Cebu (Alburo 2017). More adequate conservation measures are needed at known sites. Surveys are needed over much of the potential range of N. rabori to determine the population status of the species and to determine whether it occurs on Panay Island. Confirmation of the species presence in Indonesia is also an important priority.
