Sadly, we\u2019re seeing concerning population declines across the UK. Between 2000 &#8211; 2014 hedgehog populations declined by over half in our countryside and nearly a third in our cities and suburbs.<\/p><p>In recent years, evidence has pointed towards a decline in abundance in many areas, particularly in rural environments (Hubert <em>et al.<\/em>\u00a02011; van de Poel\u00a0<em>et al<\/em>. 2015, Williams\u00a0<em>et al<\/em>. 2018, Wembridge\u00a0<em>et al<\/em>. 2022). Scaled to a 10-year period and primarily using data gathered from long-term citizen-science programmes, estimates of national-level declines span 19% in Great Britain (applying the data and protocol used in the British Red List of Terrestrial Mammals to a 10-year period.<\/p><p>They&#8217;re now considered &#8220;vulnerable to extinction&#8221; in Great Britain and &#8220;at risk&#8221; in the rest of Europe according to the IUCN.<\/p><p>Despite covering just 6% of land, urban landscapes are increasingly important for hedgehogs. The matrix of gardens and green spaces in towns and cities can support the highest densities of hedgehogs and may act as a refuge from agricultural practices and high predator density.<\/p><p>Habitat loss from new developments, in-filling of gardens with housing, roads, impermeable boundaries and \u2018over-management\u2019 of green-spaces and gardens are all, however, threats.<\/p><p><strong>There are a variety of factors contributing to hedgehogs&#8217; decline, including:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>The destruction of their habitats<\/li><li>Increased road traffic<br \/>Use of pesticides which makes it harder for them to find food<\/li><li>Garden hazards like netting and ponds cause further casualties as hedgehogs can become easily trapped in them<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p>Wildlife rehabilitation centres such as ours provide a vital service caring for wild animals in the UK but rely upon the generosity of donors to keep us running, along with a small army of volunteers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78c930c elementor-cta--valign-bottom
