About

The North East of Scotland is known for gems such as some of the highest Mountain Hare densities on the east Cairngorm moors, resident Bottlenose Dolphins at the mouth of Aberdeen Harbour, thriving Red Squirrel and Pine Marten populations, some of the last remaining cats with high proportions of Wildcat ancestry, and a Grey Seal haul out that can hold over 5,000 animals. 

The North East Scotland Mammal Network is a hub championing and celebrating the region’s mammals, bringing together amateur enthusiasts and professionals, individuals and organisations, citizen scientists and researchers, united around a fascination with, and passion for, the region’s mammal fauna. 

Our aim is to make the hub relevant to as wide a range of the community as possible. We want people to connect and take part, and to share our vision of a network that enables people from all sectors of the community to coalesce around a passion for the amazing mammals that we share the region with. We seek to develop skills, and to enable communities to be advocates for our mammals and their habitats. By working together, we hope to act as a catalyst for securing the future of some of our most iconic species.
