	IUCN
		Although unrelated, insectivores and tree shrews have a number of physical and behavioral features in common: both groups exhibit a number of primitive features, such as simplified dentition; all are predominantly insect-eating animals; and forests (both tropical and temperate) are one of the most important habitats of both groups.
		Tree shrews, perhaps the most obvious and visible of the two groups, are an exception, but until recently have been almost totally ignored by field ecologists.
		Perhaps the greatest problem in formulating conservation recommendations for insectivores and tree shrews is the current lack of data on the ecology, distribution, and conservation status of the vast majority of species.
