Habitat:
C. hildegardae is principally a tropical moist forest species. While this species has been recorded from some degraded areas, it is believed to be only able to tolerate minor habitat disturbance.
Range:
This Central African and East African species has been reported from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Central African Republic and eastern Cameroon. Additionally, there is one locality in southern Sudan and a single record from Ethiopia (Osgood, 1936). This species is not found south of the Congo River and a number of western populations, including records from Mount Cameroon and southern Nigeria, are Crocidura virgata (Hutterer 2005).
Conservation:
This species occurs in a number of protected areas in Kenya, and is presumably present in additional protected areas over its wide range. There is a need for further studies into the distribution, natural history and threats to this species.
