Welcome to the Mammal Society

We are the only membership organisation involved in the study and conservation of all British mammals. From dormice to dolphins, bats to badgers, we work to protect those that need protection by identifying the problems they face, and halt the decline of those under threat by promoting conservation policies based on sound scientific knowledge and practice. We aim to inform, educate and involve people in mammal conservation across the British Isles.
