DuraPost Partners with Hedgehog Street to Tackle Decline in Hedgehog Population
The hedgehog population in the UK is declining at a worrying rate. Wildlife charities People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) recently published a report which revealed that hedgehog populations have plummeted by between 30% to 75% in rural areas since 2000, with the largest declines in eastern England. This report is based on almost 40 years of data and found that hedgehogs have suffered a long historic decline in the UK, but what’s becoming apparent is the vast differences between rural and urban populations, with urban hedgehog population numbers appearing to have stabilised.
