MammalWeb is the citizen science platform we're developing to monitor wild mammals in County Durham and surrounding areas. The project is being spearheaded by Pen-Yuan Hsing and is a collaboration between members of the Conservation Ecology Group and Durham Wildlife Trust. The project has received a huge boost with Durham Wildlife Trust winning a grant of c. £52K from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which will help to support a dedicated project officer and to enable purchase of camera traps that can be deployed by members of the public, in order to expand our coverage of the County.
Welcome to Daniele Battocchio, who will be visiting us from the University of Sassari, Italy, until the end of July. Daniele is working towards a PhD on the ecology and management of ungulates in Tuscany. Whilst in Durham, he will be looking at data on culled roe deer from Tuscany, and considering issues of maternal condition and reproductive decisions.
