Mammal records captured from Licence Returns submitted to Natural Resources Wales 2005-2014.
This dataset is comprised of records of mainly mammal species across Wales obtained from former Countryside Council for Wales’ and Natural Resources Wales’ survey, monitoring and research licence return forms for scheduled mammal species. The dataset was compiled to make additional valuable records available to data users and to add to knowledge of the distribution of mammal species in Wales.
The majority of records were captured by Cofnod during 2016 from a batch of forms held by Natural Resources Wales, but further forms are held by NRW. This dataset does not represent a systematic coverage or survey of Wales. Location of records is generally random, depending on the requirements of the licence holders.
