Hedgehog in danger: Loss of habitat threatens our prickly friends!

Hedgehog in danger: Loss of habitat threatens our prickly friends!

A shock for nature lovers! The World Natural Protection Union has put the hedgehog population in Western Europe on its red list as "potentially endangered". The numbers of the little winter sleepers decrease alarming! What is behind it? The answer is threatening: man is the main cause.

Above all, the destruction of their natural habitats has fatal effects on the lifestyle of the hedgehogs. Agricultural intensification, the construction of new streets and the progressive urban development threaten to make the cute bargainers in no way. These developments urgently need to be stopped to preserve the fascinating creatures!

Attention, need for action!

The World Natural Protection Union calls for immediate measures to protect the hedgehogs. The urgency in view of the decline of their population should not be underestimated. The protection of hedgehogs requires all our attention so that these charming animals do not get into forgotten.
