HEDGEHOG HOSPITAL.

The article focuses on the efforts of the Pembrokeshire Hogspital, a rescue center dedicated to rehabilitating sick, injured, and orphaned hedgehogs, amidst a significant decline in the hedgehog population in Britain. Once estimated at 35 million, the hedgehog population has plummeted to less than one million, leading to their classification as vulnerable to extinction by The British Hedgehog Preservation Society. The Go WILD for Hedgehogs campaign, initiated by Hedgehog Street, encourages individuals to create wild spaces in their gardens to support hedgehogs by providing food and nesting materials. Additionally, the article provides details about the physical characteristics of adult hedgehogs, noting they weigh about as much as a pineapple and are covered with 5,000-7,000 spines.
