The European Hedgehog

Hello and welcome to the 'European Hedgehog' website.

This website is intended to help save the lives of the European Hedgehog, which has recently been put on the list of endangered species. This means that by 2020 (less than 20 years away) the European Hedgehog could be extinct. We need to do something now before it is too late, this amazing creature will soon be gone.

The number of Hedgehogs visiting our gardens has dropped dramatically, having a real effect on their over all population. This is due to modern day gardens and they way they are now being built. Gardens are now being crammed in to tiny spaces, like sardines in a can, meaning there is less space for wildlife. People are then covering them with slabs and concrete, leaving very little shrubs, trees and grass to grow. This gives Hedgehogs and other wildlife no areas to sleep, no areas to feed and no areas to hide. This is contributing to their decline.

They need YOUR help to survive, and they need it now more than ever.

''Lets make people aware, lets make them care''

If we can make people aware of Hedgehogs and other Wildlife, then surely we can make them care. If people care, then we can make a difference. A difference in their lives- a difference in their future...........
