Position Statements

As part of our role to advocate sustainable policy development that supports mammal conservation, we issue clear statements that describe our position on some of the issues mammals face or on announcements of new or changing regional or national policy that affects mammals and efforts to conserve them.

We also campaign directly to decision makers as part of the Wildlife & Countryside LINK partnership.
