Mammals

Some of the most diverse and recognisable wildlife in the world lives in the British countryside.

However every year wild mammals in the UK suffer as a result of human activity, both deliberately (such as hunting, snaring, and culling) and accidentally (in road accidents and by ingesting litter for example).

At Protect the Wild we aim to protect and celebrate our wonderful mammals. You can read about some of the species we especially focus on below.
