The
Tracking Mammals Partnership (TMP) aims
to provide up-to-date and reliable information about the status and
population trends of all UK land mammals.
The TMP relies greatly on the goodwill and continued
participation of volunteers to collect data. Included here are some
of the most interesting aspects of TMP’s activities in 2006,
showing how the work of the volunteers fits in with the overall
picture of mammal surveillance. We extend our gratitude and thanks
to everyone who has participated in TMP surveys and hope that
they will continue to enjoy survey work in the future.
Our first major report was published in 2005, containing
comprehensive results collated from all the surveys in the
TMP. Detailed information on population trends for individual
species will be updated every year on the TMP website, with the
next major report planned for 2010.
