🎉 What an incredible achievement! Join us in congratulating Mammal Society Youth Ambassadors Liane and Felix for conquering an epic 154km citizen science challenge across the entire West Highland Way!

📱Throughout their monumental trek, Liane and Felix diligently used the Mammal Mapper app, developed by the Natural Apptitude team, to record every single sign of wild mammals – from elusive tracks and s**t to tell-tale burrows and feeding signs. This heroic effort marks the longest Mammal Mapper transect ever recorded!

🌟 These amazing young ambassadors are fundraising to support the Mammal Society's vital conservation work. Their ambitious goal is £5133, a unique figure chosen because 5133 blue whales swimming in a line would stretch the entire length of the West Highland Way. 🐋They hope to raise £1 for every 'blue whale walked'!

👉 Please show your support for their dedication and the future of mammal conservation. Donations are open until 21 July! Click here to donate and help them reach their goal: https://www.justgiving.com/page/walking-wild-west-highland-way-for-the-mammal-society?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=015
