Habitat:
This species is found in the mountain bamboo zone of patchy montane tropical moist forests.
Range:
Crocidura desperata is endemic to relict forest patches in the Rungwe and Udzungwa mountains of southern Tanzania. It is found at elevations over 1,500 m asl and has been said to be more abundant at 2,000 m asl than at lower elevations (Stanley and Hutterer 2007).
Conservation:
This species may occur within Uzungwe National Park, but its presence there is uncertain. There is an urgent need to effectively conserve remaining tracts of montane forest inhabited by this species.
