Terrestrial Mammals
A new Red List of Irish terrestrial mammals is presented. This updates and supersedes the Red List published in 2009. All 27 terrestrial species native to Ireland or naturalised in Ireland before 1500 are assessed. The seals are included for the first time. Of these, one was found to be regionally e...
