Habitat:
It has been recorded from areas of degraded forest and regrowth habitats (Flannery 1995).
Range:
This species is endemic to the island of Kiriwina, in the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea (Flannery 1995). It may be present on other islands in the group, although further field studies are needed to confirm this. Kiriwina is a small island and the extent of occurrence of the species is at most 280 km2. The island of Kiriwina has a high human population and is very low lying (maximum elevation 100 m asl).
Conservation:
It is not known if David's Echymipera is present in any protected areas. Further studies into the taxonomy, range, natural history, and threats to this species are needed.
