Black Mammalogists Week is taking place September 15-21, 2024, sponsored by the National Geographic Society. This celebration of current and aspiring Black mammalogists across the Diaspora exists to support conscious, fruitful connections and illuminate historical and present-day Black contributions to the field of Mammalogy. The effort is working toward a future where young Black people of all backgrounds will realize that they are not only welcome, but needed, and vital, to the field of mammalogy. Christine Wilkinson is a co-founder of the initiative.
