Mammal Champion 2026 Emma Onyejekwe and Young Mammal Champion 2026 Dexter
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, artist, group leader, writer, researcher, rewilder or citizen scientist, we want to shine a light on those going the extra mile for mammals.
Mammal Champion Awards 2027 is now open for nominations. Only Mammal Society members can nominate, but nominees do not need to be Mammal Society members.
If you are not a member and want to recommend someone you feel deserves to be nominated, why not give them a shoutout on social media with the hashtag #MammalChampions and tag the Mammal Society. You may inspire a member to nominate that person!
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 be invited to receive their award at the prizegiving dinner at the end of the Mammal Society Conference in Inverness on Saturday 3rd April 2027 (all travel expenses covered). Their achievement will be celebrated in Mammal Society communications and announced to press.
