The MAMMIBRU Data Base is a geographical
information system on mammals of the Brussels Region. It includes mammal records
obtained by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences conservation biology
team and its collaborators in the course of studies of the biodiversity of the
region conducted in cooperation with the
Brussels Institute for Environmental Management and with its support. For
each record, data included are exact geographical location (point data), date
and time of day, detection mode, observer, number of individuals recorded,
specific identification, confidence level of identification.
Extracts of the base can be consulted, either
in map form or in tabular form, by selecting MAMMIBRU below. This will open a
consultation window. To return to this page, close the window. The material may
be used freely for scientific, educational and conservation purposes, with the

The data gathering methodology is summarised
in a separate document, available by selecting METHODOLOGY below. Major
participants to the research and links to institutions and organisations
cooperating in the project are listed under PARTICIPANTS. A number of documents
have been created in the course of the project. They include, in particular, an
annotated list of the mammals of the Brussels Region, grid maps summarising
their distribution, data sheets on the biology of selected species, photographic
documents on mammals or their habitats. They are reached by selecting MAMMAL
LIST below. Also relevant to the conservation of Brussels mammals, and prepared
within the framework of the project, is the catalogue of habitat types of the
Brussels Region included in the PHYSIS Data Base, also available on line on the
Conservation Biology site.
