10 Facts About Mammal Society

Mammal Society is a British charity devoted to the research and conservation of British mammals.

Mammal Society was formed in 1954, and the inaugural spring conference took place the following year at The University of Exeter.

Mammal Society has a membership of around 2000 mammalogists, ecologists, conservationists, both experts and enthusiasts, all working to develop greater understanding of mammals and the conservation challenges they face.

Mammal Society is working to address the problem that mammals in the British Isles are severely under-recorded, resulting in a lack of mammal conservation progress.

The Mammal Society is determined to overcome this by creating a National Mammal Atlas to provide vital information on mammal distribution and abundance so that informed conservation decisions can be made for species in need.
