The European hedgehog is one of Europe’s most loved wild mammals, but its future is under increasing pressure. In this episode of We, The Hunters, FACE looks at the main challenges facing hedgehogs, including habitat loss, fragmented landscapes, roads, pesticides and changing land use.

We also highlight practical conservation measures that hunters, land managers, conservationists and the public can support, from creating wildlife-friendly habitats and shelters to improving landscape connectivity and supporting insect-rich environments.

This episode includes content originally recorded by JägerLatei, the podcast of JagdSchweiz, a FACE Member Organisation. We thank them for their cooperation in sharing conservation and hunting knowledge across Europe.
