MammalWeb

MammalWeb is a charity running a "citizen science" programme and a platform to collate, validate and curate camera trap data that can inform us about the distribution and ecology of mammals. MammalWeb aims to be the leader in: enabling and expanding citizen science camera trapping to address the information deficit on the status and ecology of UK and European wild mammals; engaging a community of citizen scientists, ranging from school children to enthusiasts, researchers, and the general public, to deploy cameras, and help classify the images; facilitating the use of data gathered for scientific, policy and management purposes; enhancing the connection of people to nature and its benefits for health and wellbeing. MammalWeb was set up in collaboration between Durham University and Durham Wildlife Trust. From 2018 until 2025, it was run by MammalWeb Limited, a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. At the end of 2024, we transitioned to a charity (UK charity number 1211183). Trustees include representatives from Durham University's departments of Anthropology, Bioscience and Computer Science, Durham Wildlife Trust, the University of Brighton, the National Wildlife Management Centre and independent consultants.
