| Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus): Burton, in 1969, estimated the population in the early 1950s to be 36.5 million in arable and pastoral land areas, although this was based largely on guesswork. Since then, there has been a steady decline. In 1995, the population in Great Britain was estimated to be 1.5 million, but over the last decade, counts of hedgehogs in Mammals on Roads have fallen by a quarter.

| This is so sad... seeing the numbers drop ever so much My friend has just bought me a fab little boof about the wildlife of britain and it has everything from plants, flowers, animals, inects ... it has everything, it's fab. However, it was produced in 2009 and it says that the status of our beloved hedgehog is 'common'.... I wonder how the next published book will describe it's status now.... xoxox | |

| Its quite scary to think what it will say Mel . The thing is hedgehogs have been on this earth for million of years and survived .. yet its Humans that are responsible for their demise .x | |
