As detailed on the Charity Commission website: ‘The Mammal Society works to protect British mammals, halt the decline of threatened species and advise on all issues affecting British mammals. We study mammals, identify the problems they face and promote conservation and other policies based on sound science’.
Wildlife needs our help. Our research shows that one quarter of our 48 native mammals are at risk of extinction, and we need urgent, effective action to reverse the loss of biodiversity.
