Hedgehog Street
Hedgehog Street is a UK-based conservation initiative set up by two charitable organisations, the People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS). The project was established in 2011 in response to a detected decline  in the hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) population in Britain, where it is a native species. Hedgehog Street is based around a website that provides volunteers with information about the ecology and behaviour of this mammal, tips on ways of managing gardens to benefit it, and resources to encourage volunteers to recruit other people to participate. Users (or “Hedgehog Champions”) can also log in to a members area where they can upload photos and access forums. As of January 2013 there were more than 20,000 volunteers registered through the website.
