Add hedgehogs to schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 to give them greater protection and help save the species from total extinction. We think hedgehogs should be given the same level of protection as other British Wildlife.

Our Humble Hedgehog has most recently been assessed for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and is now listed as Near Threatened under criteria A2ac. We therefore call on the Government to move hedgehogs to schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 to allow them greater protection and help prevent what we think is the UKs favourite animal from become consigned to history and children’s books.
