Revised checklist of Hungarian wild mammals
Abstract
Up-to-date lists of wild species are not just about our curiosity to know what lives around us, but they form the basis for national and international legislation, the listing of protected species, the CITES annexes, and even the IUCN Red List. The recent revision of the legislation on protected and strictly protected species in Hungary and the Atlas of European Mammals project have also necessitated the renewal of the list of wild mammals in Hungary. Due to the regular appearance of new species, the permanent presence of species previously observed only occasionally, the separation of newly recognized cryptic species, and taxonomic revisions, the number of mammal species occurring in Hungary has risen to ninety.
