As the threats to wildlife continue to increase, precise and timely information on species distribution is essential. Since 1999, The Atlas of European Mammals has proved a widely cited and valuable resource for mammalogists across the globe. Now thoroughly updated, the new edition has extended the coverage of Europe to include Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. Specialists have collected and validated distribution data for each country using an agreed species list and a standard mapping system.

This landmark volume presents maps of 247 species from 42 countries with more than 125,200 unique records, taking into account recent extinctions to give the most up-to-date picture possible.

Accounts for each species include details of taxonomy and variation, habitat, population and international legal and conservation status.
