Britain's Red List for Mammals

In 2020 the first official Red List for British Mammals was compiled by the Mammal Society for Natural England, Natural Resources Wales, Scottish Natural Heritage (NatureScot) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee.

It shows that a quarter of mammals native to Britain are classified as being at imminent risk of extinction. Hedgehog is on this list.

Britain is one of the most nature-depleted nations in the world.
