The Palearctic (Europe and northern Asia) Ecozone

The Palearctic. Home to Hedgehogs and Hamsters, Ibexes and Ikea, good cheese, bad traffic, and crap weather.

The Palearctic Ecozone covers a slab of land north of the Sahara and the Himalayas, stretching from the UK in the west through to Siberia and Japan in the east. It includes all of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and Central, Western and Eastern Asia.

Information – sometimes detailed, sometimes less so – on mammal watching in many areas is included on this site. Country (or State and Territory) pages include lists of resources specific to them.  Some more general resources are listed below.
