Habitat:
This species is found in Ethiopian montane tropical forest, and humid woodland Terminalia-Combretum savannah with high grasses.
Range:
Crocidura macmilliani is found in the Western Plateau of Ethiopia. Until recently it was known only from the holotype (collected at 'Kotelee, Walamo'), but it was rediscovered in 2002 in the Middle Godjeb Valley, Western Plateau (Bannikov et al. 2001). Currently it is known from three localities including, Koteke, the Middle Godjeb Valley, and Sheko Forest. It is unlikely that C. macmilliani occurs further north than these localities due to the lack of suitable habitat. Its elevational range is from 1,220-1,930 m asl.
Conservation:
This species is not present in any protected areas. There is a need to conserve suitable areas of montane habitat within the known range of this species. More research into population levels and habitat requirements is required to determine potential conservation actions.
