Southeastern Europe is considered a biodiversity hotspot in Europe, including mammals. How do we know for sure? The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (https://GBIF.org) doesn't show many sightings and almost none in Albania, Greece, Romania and European Turkey! How is this possible, and how can we change this? Come to the Small Mammal Conservation Conference to find out.
