The three mammalian orders, Insectivora, Scandentia, and Macroscelidea, all comprise small, terrestrial mammals that are primarily adapted to an insectivorous diet. In general, we know very little about the threats facing the African Insectivora and elephant-shrews. However, the little we know suggests that they tend to be at risk from habitat modification, rather than from direct exploitation of the species themselves. Both on the African mainland and on Madagascar there are several centres of exceptional diversity and endemism for these species. These centres are identified in this Action Plan, and the principal conservation priority is the maintenance of sufficient areas of suitable habitat in these centres.
