In just the last 20 years, hedgehog numbers have dropped by a third in urban areas, and by half in rural areas. We’ve committed ourselves to fighting the hedgehog decline. We fund research into the hedgehog population decline and along with our partner The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS), we launched Hedgehog Street, the largest hedgehog conservation project in the UK. The donations from this appeal are helping hedgehogs thrive again. We're investing in:
• recruiting more Hedgehog Champions to take action for hogs. We have 116,000 champions, but need even more
• working with housing developers to create hedgehog-friendly new-builds
• investigating why rural hedgehogs are declining so fast
• tracking where hedgehogs are spotted and where gardens are connected
• determining which garden features hedgehogs prefer so champions can create hedgehog-friendly gardens
• consulting with politicians about increasing the legal protection of hedgehogs.
Thank you to everyone that donated
