A citizen-science project monitoring the UK’s mammals.

MammalWeb is a citizen-science project established by researchers at Durham University to monitor the UK’s mammals.  Camera traps are deployed by members of the public to capture images of wildlife and the resultant images are uploaded to the MammalWeb platform where they are then classified online. MammalWeb’s objectives are to:

  • deliver policy-relevant data on biodiversity to the regional and national records centres in the UK
  • demonstrate the wider potential of a citizen-based model for mammal monitoring engage members of the public in the wildlife around them.

The project has collaborated with a range of partners including Durham Wildlife Trust, Great North Museum Hancock, Scottish National Heritage, NatureSpy, British Trust for Ornithology and HMP Deerbolt.
