Habitat:
Rhinolophus celebensis is an insectivorous bat that inhabits lowland primary and secondary forests of Indonesia. It roosts in caves and the colonies may reach a few hundred bats (Flannery 1995).

Range:
Rhinolophus celebensis is endemic to Indonesia where it is known from lowland forests (up to 600 m) of Java, Krakatau, Bali, Sulawesi, Buton, Kabaena, Kangean, Sangihe, Kaledupa, Karekelang and Wangi Wangi islands in Indonesia (Bergmans and van Bree 1986, Corbet and Hill 1992, Flannery 1995, Wiantoro et al. 2017). The record from Sepanjang requires confirmation.

Conservation:
The species has been recorded from Kakanauwi Forest Reserve, Lambasanga Forest Reserve, Mangolo Nature Park and Lorelindu National Park in central Sulawesi (Wiantoro et al. 2017). There are no species-specific conservation programs for the species. Known roosts should be protected and managed to maintain the species. Additional research is needed to confirm the species population status and trends, habitat associations, ecology, and threats.
