Petition Action

Protect the UK's dwindling hedgehog population before it's too late.

Petition Details

Now the hedgehog has been listed as vulnerable to extinction in the UK, we are calling on the Government to move hedgehogs to schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 to allow them greater protection.

Additional Information

This change will mean hedgehogs will be afforded greater protection and hopefully help their numbers recover.
