Range:
Crocidura bottegi has been recorded from sites in Ethiopia (including the type locality of 'north-east of Lake Turkana, "between Badditu and Dime"' [Hutterer 2005]) and a single locality in northern Kenya (Marsabit). There are taxonomic uncertainties related to this species which need to be resolved. All populations previously recorded in West Africa have been found to be other species such as Crocidura obscurior and Crocidura eburnea. It has been recorded at an elevation of 1,750 m asl.
Conservation:
There are no direct conservation measures in place for this species. It is not known if the species is present within any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, breeding biology and general ecology of this species.
