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. 💰

Meet Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse: https://thehabitatfoundation.org/news

One of Europe’s rarest mammals comes to Topolovgrad on October 18. On that day, The Habitat Foundation will be at the Imperial Eagle festival and present Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse. Topolovgrad lies in the heart of Sakar, the only region where a healthy population of this dormouse still lives.
