According to a report in today’s Times, hedgehogs are in danger of becoming extinct. The British population has fallen from (perhaps) 30 million in the 1950s to just 1½ million in 1995 & maybe only half that number today, says the People's trust for Endangered Species.
Well maybe, even probably, but I would be more impressed by the work if the trend graphs were put on to a comparable scale.
