Habitat:
C. fulvastra occurs in Sudan savanna habitats and in arid parts of Kenya.

Range:
Crocidura fulvastra is found discontinuously from Mali in the east to Kenya and Ethiopia, through the Sudan savanna zone. It is largely restricted to dry, savanna-filled valleys. A mummified specimen was found in Thebes, Egypt, but this species is now extinct in that area.

Conservation:
There are no direct conservation measures in place for this species. In view of the species wide range, it seems possible that it is present within some protected areas, although this needs to be confirmed.
