“These days more and more British hedgehogs need rescuing. They may be covered in sharp spines, but that’s no defense against the habitat loss and fragmentation that’s primarily driving the species’ significant decline … and their spines are certainly no match for cars, another frequent killer of hedgehogs in both rural and urban areas. Although it’s difficult to glean exact numbers, scientists estimate that Britain has lost about a third of its hedgehogs since 2000.”
