A smartphone approach to streamline mink control

The Mink MApp project will unify national mink control to help save the UK’s native water vole

The Mink MApp project will unify national mink control to help save the UK’s native water vole

Context

Non-native American mink Neovison vison have decimated the UK water vole Arvicola amphibius population and predates fish, birds and other mammals

Challenge

Acting quickly and decisively is key to clearing waterways of American mink to protect water voles and other riparian species.

Our solution

We want to bring projects together to begin nationwide co-ordination of control projects and capitalise on everyone’s efforts.

PROJECT

Meet the Mink MApp

The Mink MApp offers individual mink control projects a secure system to upload data visible only to their local project and the Mink MApp team, thereby allowing identification of geographical gaps where new interventions could be targeted
