Was sitting outside reading when a small flash of reddish-brown movement caught my eye; I looked down just in time to see what I'm fairly sure was a bank vole (Myodes glareolus) bump into my shoe then run back the way it had come and duck into the bushes for cover (and maybe to hide its embarrassment)

Blind mole-rats spend most of their life underground. Inaccessible to birds of prey, but not to ploughs. How can we protect this invisible mammal?

Come to the first Small Mammal Conservation Conference and discuss this issue with fellow mammal lovers.

Little help for big results. A donation by a local mammal working group helped the NGO Wildlife Montenegro buy wildlife cameras to search for the Balkan snow vole, a rare mammal species in Europe.
Your help is welcome too. 💰
