Closed Save our Hedgehogs

Closed on

In 1950 it was estimated that there were 30 million hedgehogs in the UK. By 1995, the hedgehog population was estimated to be only about 1.5 million.

We urge HM Government to recognise the shocking decline in numbers of the British hedgehog. We urge HM Government to give the hedgehog the same legal protection as the otter, dormouse and red squirrel.
