The University Mammal Challenge, or UMAC, is the Mammal Society’s annual competition that sees teams of up to 5 students recording the mammals on their campuses. There are a few rules to follow, and some set surveying methods, but we encourage students to gather as many records as possible using a variety of survey techniques. After all, it is a competition! There are prizes up for grabs, so you can contribute to UK mammal conservation whilst enjoying some friendly rivalry with other university campus teams!
Camera trap data can be uploaded and classified on MammalWeb but camera trapping is just one aspect of UMAC. To find out more information and to register your team visit the Mammal Society Website UMAC page.
