Staff at Vincent Wildlife Trust have produced a range of free, downloadable resources on the work to conserve threatened mammals in Britain, Ireland and mainland Europe. Some have written books that can be bought online through NHBS.
This project set out to build new and permanent structures in County Limerick in the vicinity of the Mulkear River to function as suitable roosting sites for the lesser horseshoe bat. This is the first time that funding under an agri-environment scheme was solely targeted to benefit this bat species.
This leaflet, produced as part of the Lesser Horseshoe Bat Conservation Project, was produced to describe the actions of the project but also to list other actions that farmers can take to promote the conservation of the lesser horseshoe bat.
A guide to the native and non-native small mustelids of Ireland – the pine marten, Irish stoat, otter, American mink and ferret.
The pine marten is a medium-sized, arboreal member of the mustelid (stoat and weasel) family. Pine martens were historically widespread throughout Britain but by 1915, the combined effects of woodland clearance and intensive predator control had resulted in extinction in all but the most remote upland areas of northwest Scotland, northern England and Wales.
Our 2020-2030 strategy sets out the next ten years of conserving threatened mammals using scientifically sound research. We continue to be a catalyst for innovative conservation as we work with new species, new partnerships and new areas.
The Our Beacon for Bats project aimed to contribute to the long-term conservation of lesser horseshoe bats in the upper Usk Valley through working with local people to raise awareness, add to our knowledge of how bats use the area and undertake habitat enhancements.
