• Atlas of Mammals "is a new initiative which builds on the successes of previous citizen science projects such as the southern African Bird Atlas Project atlas (SABAP). Some species of mammals are relatively well known in terms of their distribution in Namibia but most are not and, for many species, distributions may have changed in recent years due to pressure on habitats, land use changes and other factors. Contribute to the mammal atlas and assist in assessing current distributions.
  
  As well as records of sightings of live animals, records of the presence of mammals from their tracks and signs can be submitted: spoor, kills, droppings etc. Records of dead mammals are also valid, e.g. road kill, prey records, cetacean strandings."

Organizations

Europe

• OSPAR "is the mechanism by which 15 Governments & the EU cooperate to protect the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic.
  
  OSPAR started in 1972 with the Oslo Convention against dumping and was broadened to cover land-based sources of marine pollution and the offshore industry by the Paris Convention of 1974. These two conventions were unified, up-dated and extended by the 1992 OSPAR Convention. The new annex on biodiversity and ecosystems was adopted in 1998 to cover non-polluting human activities that can adversely affect the sea.
  
  The fifteen Governments are Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
  
  OSPAR is so named because of the original Oslo and Paris Conventions ("OS" for Oslo and "PAR" for Paris)."

UK

• Mammal Society "a UK based charity devoted to the study and conservation of the mammals of the British Isles. We aim to raise awareness of the issues mammals face and share our scientific research so they can be best protected in the future. Although a small team we are mighty, and are dedicated to helping mammals across the nation."
