The large amount of data collected via Citizen Science, census and monitoring projects in the Natura 2000 network, together with data present in museum collections and local atlases represent a base for the launch of the Atlas of Italian Mammals project that the Italian Mammal Society will complete by 2020.
This Atlas will be a fundamental piece in the completion of the second edition of the Atlas of European Mammals, planned for 2024 with the contribution of all European mammal societies and under the guidance of a scientific committee coordinated by Toni Mitchell Jones and in which we can find the honorary President of the Italian Mammal Society, Giovanni Amori.
