The Mammal Society is the national voice campaigning for conservation that benefits mammals. A relatively small charity, the Society has a large and unique role in bringing together professional scientists who study all mammals with members of the public who share an interest in them.

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.  The Mammal Society strategic plan sets out our vision for the future where society values and protects our native wildlife and recognises the benefit that nature brings to everyone.
