We face the devastating announcement that hedgehogs are now on the conservation Red List, meaning they are classified as vulnerable to extinction'. Whilst distressing, this news sadly wasn't a surprise, with UK hedgehog numbers decreasing by around two thirds since 1990. Their habitats are threatened and its increasingly difficult for them to find food or travel; as a result, many face hunger and isolation. The faster we raise vital funds, the faster we can act to protect them from possible extinction.
