Southeastern Europe is considered a biodiversity hotspot in Europe, including mammals. How do we know for sure? The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (https://GBIF.org) doesn't show many sightings and almost none in Albania, Greece, Romania and European Turkey! How is this possible, and how can we change this? Come to the Small Mammal Conservation Conference to find out.

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?

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. ๐Ÿ’ฐ
