Mammal Champion Awards

Every year the Mammal Society calls for nominations of people who deserve to be recognised and celebrated for helping ensure a brighter future for mammals in the British Isles and Ireland. Whether it’s a campaigner, educator, communicator, group leader, writer, researcher, rewilder or citizen scientist, we want to shine a light on those going the extra mile for mammals.

Nominations for Mammal Champion Awards 2026 has now closed.

The selection will be made by a panel of Mammal Society staff, Council members and Youth Ambassadors; to award one adult, one youth (under 18), and one group prize.

All award winners will receive a sustainable wooden trophy and £100 of NHBS vouchers, and will be invited to receive their award at the prizegiving dinner at the end of the Mammal Society Conference in Inverness on Saturday 28th March 2026 (all travel expenses covered). Their achievement will be celebrated in Mammal Society communications and announced to press.
