DESCRIPTION:The coordination of the Global Mammal Assessment\, the initiat
 ive that feeds the assessments of the conservation status of mammals into 
 the IUCN Red List\, has recently moved to the University of Rome\, Sapienz
 a. \n\nDr Carlo Rondinini will talk about how\, in addition to maintaining
  this mammal dataset\, his research group has used the geographic and ecol
 ogical information that it contains as a baseline for developing species-s
 pecific\, global\, 300m resolution habitat suitability models for (almost)
  all mammals. \n\nUsing these refined distribution ranges\, Dr Rondinini's
  group have undertaken global analyses of all terrestrial mammals to deter
 mine patterns of species richness\, threat\, endemism and to identify mini
 mum sets of areas that to acheive a variety of conservation targets.
