EMBRACE: Endemic and Endangered Nigerian Montane Rodent and Shrew Conservation Effort

The Endemic and Endangered Nigerian Montane Rodent and Shrew Conservation Effort is a dedicated initiative aimed at confronting the looming threat of extinction faced by unique non-volant small mammals dwelling in the Mambilla Plateau of Nigeria. Notable among these species are Praomys obscurus, Otomys occidentalis, and Sylvisorex corbeti, each possessing distinctive characteristics that contribute to the rich biodiversity of the region. Unfortunately, their survival is jeopardized by habitat degradation, anthropogenic activities, and a lack of sufficient conservation awareness. .
