Hedgehogs, like the Fox and Badger, Heading for Extinction?

 People keep posting online and saying that hedgehogs are recovering after being Red Listed. I keep telling them that the species has not recovered. I wish they had as hedgehogs are one of the species I have looked at since the 1970s and in the mid 1990s raised concerns about declining numbers but no one really gave a damn.

Now we know and it is grim. If you are interested in hedgehogs please read this report. The map says it all, though.

Dayglo Gums Are NOT a Good Sign

 update: we have been asked to  submit this fox for PM due to the severe colouration of the gums. __________________________________________...
