Atlas des Mammifères Sauvages de France, Volume 2: Ongulés et Lagomorphes [Atlas of Wild Mammals of France, Volume 2: Ungulates and Lagomorphs]

About this book

Language: French

A unique synthesis of knowledge about the distribution of ungulates (19 perissodactyl species and one artiodactyl species) and lagomorphs (8 species) in France (both metropolitan and overseas territories), this book is the result of a collective and collaborative work, involving the participation of many experts and organisations.

This atlas includes protected species benefiting from reintroduction programs as well as native and exotic species that may be harvested and/or demonstrate an economic or biological impact. All of them may exhibit strong spatial and numerical fluctuations. Monitoring programs have been in place for decades for many of them. This distribution atlas draws on 310,000 data points collected between 2000 and 2018. Therefore, this book represents an essential tool to resolve the conflict between species conservation and human activities through concerted management.

Organized into entries for species and geographical areas, this atlas will interest scientists, naturalists, managers, and administrators.
