3 Teacher Notes Welcome to Meet the Mammals. NIEA (Northern ireland Environment Agency) is producing a range of educational resources specific to our local habitat and wildlife. In Meet the Mammals we have sought to provide basic but interesting information on mammals that can be found locally within Northern Ireland. Students are often incredibly interested in animals and Ireland as an island has its own unique variety. Many of the species of animals found in Ireland are unique as they became separated from their closest UK relatives during the last Ice Age about 15,000 years ago. Mammals are an important part of the Biodiversity of Northern Ireland, although some are not native and can compete with our native mammals. In addition, some are claused as Priority Species. These animals need our help to survive as there are many threats to their homes and food. Jenny Caldwell and Emma Crawford For further information on any of the species found in this book or to contact EHS directly see the link below: Northern Ireland Environment Agency homepage.
